Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 As I mentioned in another post, my family sick now with a flu-like illness (no one can ever say " you definitely have the flu " or " it's just a virus " ), so I wonder if other areas of the country (we are in the Northeast US) will run into an early flu season.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 The pediatrician who takes care of Cindy's children told her today that the doctor's offices will be fined $5000 for each flu shot they give to someone who does not meet the critera that has been outlined for those who is it considered medically necessary. I wonder how some of these clinics are handling this. Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Wow, that should make them adhere to the guidelines. I am glad that the CDC has taken action and not let what happened the last time there was a shortage. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2004 21:23:34 -0000 > To: > Subject: Re: Flu Shot > > > The pediatrician who takes care of Cindy's children told her today > that the doctor's offices will be fined $5000 for each flu shot they > give to someone who does not meet the critera that has been outlined > for those who is it considered medically necessary.
