NJ and H1N1 vaccine - anyone have info

I cannot seem to find anything showing when it will be available in mist or shot.  I am pretty certain that the pedi will want DS to get the shot b/c of respritory illness history but have no idea when it will be available or where and the state website is not helpful.

I know here in CT we have the mist available only.  No shots yet, and they said it may be a few weeks.

Since dd had mist of seasonal flu last week, she can't get H1N1 for 3 more weeks anyway.

I don't live in NJ but here in Illinois you can call the health department or go to the website and find locations.  For us they have both the mist and the shot and there are no charges.

my Dh's company makes it- and today they JUST gave it out to their employees- so i expect them to be shipping it out this week. I'll be getting it on saturday morning (they do family over 10 y/o at his office, too).

I would not get the mist - esp since you have a baby at home. It's a live virus and not recommended for anyone who is around young babies.

My Pedi's daughter got horribly sick from the flu mist last year- so he will not give it out anymore... esp the H1N1 because not much is known about the virus- so giving it out LIVE in the mist to him, is too risky... i agree with him.

we'll all be getting the shot in this family (except the twins... unless they are still recommending in Dec that it's worth getting it that late- b/c that is when they will turn 6mo)
