H1N1????

Friday, October 23, 2009 by My So Called Life
Are you getting your kids vaccinate for H1N1?

Have you got the vaccine?

Do you plan to get the vaccine?


So many opinions so little research! I did get the vaccine yesterday from the OB office. I got it beacuse I work on campus and I would hate to bring something home to my children. I didn't have any side effects and I am fine. I now have to decide with Lucas at home whether or not to vaccinate Logan. First the doctors say no and now they say yes.

Let me know your thoughts!

    Both baby and I had cases of the h1n1 virus about a month ago. We were out of commission for about 6 days. I felt awful for 3 days, and then just under the weather the rest of days. I was worried that I was sick, so I went to the peds with the baby. He said to watch for high fever and for small purple spots/rash on his body. When you press on them, they do not go away. That is a sign of virus on an infant, and when you've got the rash plus fever of 100.4 or more, that is a sign that its serious and needs medical attention ASAP.

    So... your son is only a month younger than my son, and since they are both breastfed, they have good immunity.

    Oh, my ped. also said he wouldn't give the vaccines to his 5 year old or 6 month old because they were too untested and too new. So... that's helpful!

    I made my husband get the regular flu shot at work this month, since it was free. I probably won't get the flu shot since its $30 and in really short supply in my town!

    I got the girls the regular flu shot... but we aren't getting the h1n1 vaccine. I am just not comfortable with it.

    I would get it.....but
    pediatrician sais not to
    BECAUSE
    even if you decided to get one...
    it takes two doses to make it "work"
    with the shortage you would NEVER get two doses .....
