> What has everyone else's experiences been? Last Tuesday I went down

to the local Health Department to get an H1N1 vaccine (the shot, not the

nasal spray) and was told it was only for children and mothers. I told

them I was in the high risk group as I had Pulmonary Fibrosis. They

gave me a flier with the phone number to call and check when it would be

available for high risk groups outside of infants and their mothers.

Last Thursday and Friday (according to the recording at their offices

this morning) they suspended shots and opened for 5 hours on Saturday

with the " expanded " list of receivers. I only heard about it Saturday,

after they had closed at 1:00 pm. I called today after 8:00 am (my

local health clinic did not have any vaccine so I had to go through the

Health Department). The Health Department said I should not have been

turned away, but it was too late, the vaccine would not be in until some

unknown time in November. So, lesson learned... throw a tantrum...

demand your shot and don't take NO for an answer. I already asked my

own doctor and the University rehab if they had access to the vaccine

and it was a negative on all fronts. To say the least, I am rather

upset. My daughter is under the weather and staying away from me (she

lives outside our home) because she has symptoms (headaches, fever) and

she is 25 (also in the danger area, but uneligible for mist or vaccine

because they have so many children in Utah under the age of 24 months).

She went to a Utah football game on Saturday afternoon. Has everyone

got their shot? I am worried because they are expecting higher

incidences of the H1N1. Someone just tell me to chill, okay?
