Nick had his re-check yesterday and our dr told us to bring him and Katie in tonight for their H1N1 shots. Katie has asthma and wouldn't qualify otherwise. We're still waiting for word on when everyone else is eligible.
Nick is nervous.

He keeps saying "when do I have to have the 111 shot?". LOL
I'll get Katie to have hers first in hopes that he'll see that it isn't so bad.

Good luck! I bet they'll do great. That is great that the whole crew will get vaccinated. I hate that some families are only able to get one child or the other.

My two are scheduled for Sunday during the football games at a health clinic. Our doctors office isn't getting any in. We are the last day though so I am wondering if there will even be any left?

I'm just so nervous after this weekends allergy fiasco of giving the kids the vaccine. I had finally made my mind up to do it, got the appointments and now I'm waffling again.

It was just so scary seeing DH not being able to breath and so close to death. I can't imagine if that ever happened to the kids. The chances are astronomical that anything bad would happen but I'm just so on edge right now.

I nearly needed a sedative today when Milo tried a nut filled bear claw today at a pastry shop when they were giving out samples. LOL! Poor kid coughed after eating it and I was all over him seeing if he was okay.

I do think that preventing this virus is a smart idea. I'm hesitant of the nasal vaccine but if the H1N1 shot really is made the same way as the seasonal nobody should fear it any more than the regular vaccine.

Hope the kids do great. Milo and Ili make me bring party blowers with us for the shots and then they blow them when they feel the pinch. I have no idea why it helps them but they swear by it. I have a box of random party favors so they have one when needed. LOL!

Sarah got the vax at school. I still haven't gotten Alex or Char (or DH/me for that matter) vaccinated because it's not available.

Nicole- only Nick and Katie qualify for the shots right now. Nick because he's under 5 and Katie because she has asthma. The rest of still have to wait.
I read an article the other day where they are throwing the vaccines away because once the the syringe is filled it only has a 24 hr shelf life. What a waste- and frustrating for those who are still waiting to be vaccinated.

I hope he sees that it's not a big deal. I think Katie getting it at the same time will ease his fears.

We're not getting it here. I think my kids have had the H1N1 already which was mild if that was it truly but I can't be sure. Either way the Ped. doesn't have it and I'm not into fear so I'm treating it like any other flu and we don't get the regular flu shot either.
