So in Australia they are not encouraging babies to be vaccinated? That's interesting.
The vaccine will be available here starting Nov. 2nd. I'm taking him for his annual shots next week and will see what the doctor recommends.
so what were the doctor's recomendations?.... i m very confused about my kids too..hubby pushing me to get them shot asap but i dont ... they are 28mons., 16mon. old...
Re: Swine Flu Vaccine for Babies
He said to get him vaccinated .... but the vaccine isn't in his office yet and won't be for another 2 weeks. I can take him to the stadiums where they are admistering the shots, but the line ups are 5-8 hours. He has a higher chance of getting sick waiting in line. I'll wait till the vaccine is at my doctor's office.
Quite a few ppl I know have gotten this flu and have recovered from it. It's just been a normal flu for them ... so I don't know .....
Re: Swine Flu Vaccine for Babies
^ Yeah, the only thing I'm noticing amongst students and friends that got it is that they have VERY high fevers (up to 105 for some). That's what makes me nervous. Even once the kids are back at school, it takes them a few days to recover color and such.
Re: Swine Flu Vaccine for Babies
It seems we might be getting them as well, for the kiddos, after going back and forth about it numerous times.We spoke with our family doctor, and decided to go for it.
The vaccinations lines here are crazy but our dr.s office is going to hold clinic next week.
It might seem like a simple thing, I dont know why I had such a hard time with this decision, maybe if I was a doctor I would have a better idea :)
