So I won't be getting them vaccinated. Our counties around here only got 10,000 doses and they are for doctors/nurses first and then the rest get them. We can't go to the clinics either because we have health insurance and they are only giving them to people who don't. Crazy huh?! Lots of prayer is going on over here to keep our kids safe...that's all I can count on!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724377960607154161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074334139822079663.post-31510009626971881312009-11-05T15:07:04.566-05:002009-11-05T15:07:04.566-05:00I think that with any vaccination issue, the decis...I think that with any vaccination issue, the decision to get the H1N! vaccine is a personal choice that each mother and father need to make together. So good for you for making a decision and doing what you feel is the best thing for your children!<br /><br />Right now I am sitting in my house, for the 4th day straight with 2 little ones that have the swine flu. I feel lucky actually, that my boys have a very mild case of it and seem to be on the mend. <br /><br />Blessings!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03530920615259170825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074334139822079663.post-4068744894383023652009-11-05T09:11:54.380-05:002009-11-05T09:11:54.380-05:00If it makes you feel any better, my triplets were ...If it makes you feel any better, my triplets were in the clinical trial for the H1N1 vaccine back in August and September. They have had NO problems, side effects, nothing. My husband and I have also gotten our H1N1 vaccines as we are in Tier 1 (high risk group) for other reasons.<br /><br />Brady should not get the mist. <br /><br />Your other two can get the mist. I forget how old your littlest one is, but if they are over 2 years of age, then they can get the mist as well.<br /><br />My best advice is to call the health department and explain your situtation so they hold a intermuscular vaccine for Brady (and your little one if necessary) at the clinic. They also may allow you to go to the head of the line if you explain your entire situation -- that is what we are doing here, but every state/city is different.<br /><br />Hope that helps! Many hugs and prayers!Got Triplets?https://www.blogger.com/profile/02113043976812613007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074334139822079663.post-50690369836988539182009-11-05T08:09:46.138-05:002009-11-05T08:09:46.138-05:00Yes, I have looked into the live vaccine issue. An...Yes, I have looked into the live vaccine issue. And yes, chronic health conditions are included, which obviously includes cancer. However, Brady is not considered to have "active cancer" and is not immunosupressed due to cancer treatment (chemo). His blood counts are as normal as you or I. I feel as comfortable giving it to him as any of the other kids. It's frustarting isn't it, that people with other health conditions who are at higher risk for complications should they contract H1N1 are the ones having to wait to get vaccinated?Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03714736648406955633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074334139822079663.post-75951268426532787912009-11-05T07:01:53.616-05:002009-11-05T07:01:53.616-05:00As a mom of triplets who went to the pediatrician ...As a mom of triplets who went to the pediatrician and sat in a waiting room full of sick kids to get my kids the h1n1 vaccine and then was turned away because they have "chronic" illnesses and cannot receive the nasal one, I would double checkon Brady and the live vaccine. two of mine have asthma and one has type 1 diabetes and they told me no and we have to wait for the actual shot version.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
