sorry, one more H1N1 vaccine: dr recommendation?

melissa816

Many people have said whether their doctor recommends for or against the H1N1 vaccine- but how did you find out if your doctor recommended it or not? Call, make an appointment? DS isn't due for a well-check until mid-January, but I would like his pedi's opinion on the vaccine.  Just not sure how to get it.  If I call, I'll probably only be able to talk to the nurse, but maybe they'd know the doctor's advice anyways?

Thanks, and sorry for the one-millionth h1n1 question

It can't hurt to call and make an appt.  My doctor's nurse is fab and she would give me their rec based on the doc's advice.

I asked at his checkup in Sept.  I would think if you call the receptionist would probably know if the doctor recommends it or not.  It is probably a common question.

Call and ask.  His nurse probably has a spiel she could recite in her sleep on the topic.  Opinions vary so take it with a grain of salt and make the decision for yourself and your child.  I know when I called DS's pedi about whether or not to start tamiflu his nurse was very well versed on the topic and is helping field all the calls.

Definitely call. I'm lucky and I occasionally see DS's ped at work when she comes in to see her newborns. So, I talked to her at that point. GL!
