has your child received the H1N1 booster?

not sure what to do, my county is holding a clinic next week and I am not even sure if they will do boosters or if I can get an appointment but they are now only doing it for ages 6mo to 35 months...and DS will be 36mos next Saturday since means after this clinic he will no longer qualify.  But, their birthday is next Saturday (both kids) as well as their party and DD and DS happened to get sick after their last H1N1 shot although it is likely unrelated (they were both shots, not live.)  WWYD if I can get an appointment.

    did you get the first shot at the county clinic?  If so they should give him the booster no matter what his age is?

    Michelle got her 1st at the county clinic and has an appt. for her booster the 18th.

    Yes he got his booster on Friday. If he had his first, they will give him his second, just bring his card with you.

    Both my kids got the booster shot.  They are 8 months and 3.5 years.

    If I could find somewhere to get it for DS, he would have it in an instant! I'm a nurse in a hospital and DH works in retail, so we are both exposed to a LOT of people everyday at work.

    If I were you, I'd get it for both of your kids.

    I would call the county and tell them your situation. They should still give them their second since they got the first dose. A lot of Dr.s think that there is going to be a second wave of this outbreak so I would definitely give it to DS.

    DS got his booster as well. We just had to wait a couple of extra days for the shipment to come in and then it was no problem.

    Ben's going to get his tomorrow at the pedi's office.  That's where he got the first one.  Ben got the nasal vaccine and had no reaction to it at all.

    They got their first dose on 10/20 through the pedi's office.  They just opened up appointments for boosters (this weekend, in fact) and they each have an appointment tomorrow evening.

    The "funny" thing is that I cannot "find" a seasonal booster for DD2 for the life of me!  I'm hoping the pedi's office has it at her 15-month appointment in a few weeks.
