They are still out of regular flu vaccines. <br /><br />So just stay on top of Health Department updates. Shipments are starting to arrive.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-66464360301087780142009-11-11T06:03:47.560-08:002009-11-11T06:03:47.560-08:00Christopher-- I agree- medical personnel should be...Christopher-- I agree- medical personnel should be at the front of the line for vaccinations... that is basic common sense-- prevent those exposed & potentially exposing others in a hospital setting FIRST. <br />Instead, Goldman Sachs & Citi bank get first dibs???<br /><br />Bullshit. <br /><br />It is as if they have no protocol for distribution... and in fact, they have Doctors & hospitals who have not yet received the vaccine in NY State where the Wall Street distribution happened. <br /><br />The Health Department did nothing about this situation? The official WH comment was - if they did get H1N1 vaccinations inappropriately, "that would be bad".....<br />Action needs to be taken. <br />Whomever made that decision should no longer be in charge, if they did not have the sense to give the vaccinations to front line medical people & high risk groups first. <br /><br />Enigma~ You are right. I did not understand why a person w no medical background was appointed to the position. <br />You coined the phrase! A Brownie moment indeed. <br /><br />I am grateful to have access to the vaccine, because swine flu is just starting to circulate in my area-- lots of people out all last week w the flu. The whole process is vastly messed up<br />and not being handled professionally,<br /><br />Hell even the CDC weekly update web page reporting is all effed up, either that or<br />there are now 2244 less deaths being reported in the cumulative data from one week to the next. Cumulative data should either stay the same or increase. <br />Is the CDC engaging in manipulating the data to quell widespread fear & panic?<br />Their numbers don't jive. <br />That will be Thursday' blog post.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-62043547345776940272009-11-10T04:40:45.283-08:002009-11-10T04:40:45.283-08:00btw I am writing to demand Sebelius be fired- I do...btw I am writing to demand Sebelius be fired- I don't care if she is battling cancer- this is her Brownie moment.enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-23784989128313529602009-11-09T09:48:26.627-08:002009-11-09T09:48:26.627-08:00Indoor, outdoor, whatever.

In New York state, unless you're a pregnant woman or an EMT, good luck.<br /><br />Jim works with very, very sick patients in a large, acute bed hospital and guess what? They aren't offering the vaccine to healthcare workers because they say they don't have any.<br /><br />Imagine how easy it would be to spread it in a hospital setting? Or, as Jim says, he gets it and brings it home to me? I have asthma -- not exactly a good base to start from.<br /><br />It's really a shame that the Obama administration isn't interested in cell-based vaccine development. We are still making vaccines the way we did 50 years ago. Meanwhile, Japan, Germany and even China are moving to the cell-based model.<br /><br />Imagine a bio-terrorism situation where we need to make vast amounts of vaccine in a week? It ain't going to happen and millions will die.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788931352232874850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-75143403452674218262009-11-09T00:47:04.745-08:002009-11-09T00:47:04.745-08:00DK~ The news never reported on it.

Glad you got the shot. Wonder if they ran out before everyone who waited was taken care of?D.K.

IT SURE DID SEEM WRONG TO HAVE BABIES & TODDLERS OUT IN THE COLD WAITING IN LINE. THEY REALLY SHOULD HAVE FOUND A WAY TO HAVE A WAITING LINE INDOORS. <br />BUT PEOPLE SEEMED TO NOT WANT TO BE IN A FUNK FOR THE LONG WAIT, SO THERE WERE LIVELY DISCUSSIONS, AND BASIC COURTESY FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO STEP AWAY FROM THE LINE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM OR WHATEVER. THEY CERTAINLY DO NEED TO FIGURE OUT A BETTER WAY, BUT EVEN UNDER THESE WESTERN OREGON WINTERY CONDITIONS, THE GIANT TENT, AND THE OPENING OF THE CONFERENCE CENTER RESTROOMS JUST THE NEXT BUILDING OVER WERE BOTH GREATLY APPRECIATED. <br />I'VE NEVER DONE A FLU SHOT IN THIS MASS PUBLIC SETTING STYLE BEFORE. IT'S NOT OPTIMAL, THAT'S FOR SURE, BUT AT LEAST IT WAS FREE AND AVAILABLE TO ANYONE WHO QUALIFIED FOR THE HIGH RISK CATEGORIES. <br /><br />MY SON (THE AVID BICYCLIST) ARGUED THAT MORE PEOPLE DIED IN CAR ACCIDENTS THAN FROM THE FLU, THE HUSBAND RESPONDED, THEY DON'T HAVE A VACCINE FOR CAR ACCIDENTS. <br /><br />GOOD LUCK EVERYONE<br />JUST THUGHT I WOULD DOCUMENT THIS HISTORIC MOMENT.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.com
