Re: H1N1 Vaccine

[Guest guest]

I get a pneumonia shot every five years, per my allergist and Internist.  I do

get the regular flu shot every year and this year will get both...I guess. I go

to the doctor in two weeks, so I'll find out then.

 

The H1N1 virus has been rampant here already...no schools closed, though, but

one death that I can remember-- a teenager.....

 

Have a great rest of the week and take care of yourselves.....

Hello All,

Just FYI - the recommendation for the upcoming H1N1 vaccine is that for anyone

over the age of 10 who has a chronic condition, works in the medical field, is

around kids etc..., to get 1 vaccine. Due to my immune system's poor past

performance, my Pulmonologist said 'it wouldn't hurt' me to get 2 vaccines like

kids under 10. He said to make sure they are at least 21 days apart and of

course to get the regular flu shot too (its never been recommended that I get

the pneumonia shot for some reason). This is just something that I thought I

should share so that the rest of you can ask your doctors if you should get 2 as

well.

My PCP gave me the regular flu shot last week and wants me to have the H1n1 as

soon as she gets it in her office.

Today, I feel like I have a bad chest cold. I don't need ANY kind of flu this

season!!!!
