Mennicoccal and Flu vaccines

[Guest guest]

I TRUELY Believe that the flu shot and the other shot is very important my

child has had aflu shot every year since birth she has only had the actual

influenza illnes once as far as pnemonia goes not many times her biggest

problem is several strains of psdemonus which are becoming sensitive to the

many iv antibiotics but definitely get flu shots for you and your family her

brother got one also and he does not have cf.

Hi there,

I am debating about flu and mennicoccal vaccines a the moment. Tasmania

is having alot of mennicoccal outbreaks at for the past year, although

my kids are not in the target area for getting it I am. It usually hits

babies and teenagers-young adults, yes I know I am not a young adult but

I do go to university with them. It is transmitted by saliva, sharing

drinks, cigarettes and kissing (all of which I do not do) but I do have

to sit in closed rooms with them coughing and sneezing everywhere and

touching door handles desks and books Yuck - do you think I am being a

little paranoid.

At the kids school, they have become very aware of this disease and its

deadly potential. The water bubbler was even off limits until it was

modified. The kids have become very germ conscious, to the point Connor

5 1/2 has asked for a needle to stop this bug from getting him, it has

been in the media that much.

I had already decided to get us all vaccinated against the flu this

year, not just Ainslie. Has anyone else had this vaccination?

Hi Terri,

My whole family gets the flu vaccine every year. All the kids not just

with CF. We have had them since he was diagnosed. The other is every few years

not every year but its still a good idea.

Hi everyone...

My CF doc actually called me and asked if we got our

flu shots yet and if not he would highly recommend it.

*his way of saying GO DO IT NOW! " . We all got them

and were hardly as sick as we usually were. I very

much recommend them.

yep, at our clinic visit in the fall they were giving the flu shot to everyone!

We would have been hard pressed to get out of there without being jabbed if it

hadn't been for the fact that my husband had already had one at work and I was 8

1/2 months pregnant. Our daughter did get it done though and had to have 2

doses a month apart. Any child under 8 needs 2 shots the first year they

receive the vaccine.

As for mennicoccal, I get confused about what we get. For sure there is one

against menningitis paid for by the government and another for a different type

of menningitis that is not covered. We got the free one.
