Waited in line 2 hours for H1N1 mist

WendyK

DS now has officially received the H1n1 mist. After waiting 2 hours in the rain he finally got it. I am so outraged with the limited supply, why promote it when you know you are going to give a county of 500,000 only 4,000 doses.

That's my worry for this coming Monday.  Is the wait.  How early did you go?  Where I am going they have both.

I got their 45 minutes early. They did have both but he would have to have a second shot since he is only 2. I thought we would chance it with the mist (since it is a live virus). I was afraid that they would not have any left when the booster came around.

They aren't even offering it where we live yet. On Saturday, one place is offering it to pregnant women and healthcare workers. I will be going to get mine.

On another note: we waited in line today for 45 minutes to receive the "regular" flu shot for P.

The media has hyped this up so much that people are going crazy.

It is so crazy. People are going to freak out because they ran out, they are stopping at 5. I think the only reason our county got it is because there is a major university which has been hit very hard by H1N1.

I was told that DD would need 2 whether it was the shot or mist, were you told different?  Our health dept only has mist and they said 2 doses.

I think the guidance regarding it is all over the place.

I heard on the radio that a woman waited over 2 hours for a regular flu shot.  Is this what National Health care would be like?  No thank you...if it is!
