Who decided to get the flu shot and H1N1?

mrsseguin · November 2009

I got both of mine in the last 2 weeks. Just curious who else got theirs...

Me.

MWoodside · November 2009

Not me.

Not me. Not because I don't want it, but because the clinics in my area aren't vaccinating pregnant women, the clinics outside my area have 8 hour line ups, and no one wants to vaccinate a pregnant woman in the 1st tri. I'll have to wait until december for my flu shot, and 20 weeks for H1N1.

Me; I got both and I'm glad that I did. Smile

I got my flu shot when I was only 5 weeks pregnant and I am still undecided on the H1N1 shot. I am now 10w 3d pregnant and I don't know what to do???

ellen&jeremy · November 2009

Me. Seasonal flu several weeks ago - H1N1 last weekend.

I was SUPER impressed with our local hospital that hosted the H1N1 clinic for pregnant women - they were VERY efficient and organized. We were in and out in five minutes!.

I got the seasonal shot 2 weeks ago and I get the H1N1 today.

Same here. Except everything is on a first call, first serve basis. You have to call every morning and if they have shots available you can make an appointment. The chances of you calling and getting through while they have shots avaiable are slim to none.

Me! I got the regular flu shot 3 weeks ago and the H1N1 shot about 10 days ago.

Erika6504 · November 2009

I got the H1N1 about 2 weeks ago and will get the seasonal flu shot tomorrow at my Dr. appt.

GinEthansMom · November 2009

I got H1N1 and am hunting around for the regular flu shot.

sophie206 · November 2009

Just the H1N1 for me. Yesterday I went in for my appointment and asked if they had the vaccine and to my shock they did. (We've had the vaccine lines forming at 4am around here for the few clinics that've received it) They're only giving it to priority patients that happen to come in and not "advertising" that they have it! I'm not sure if I'll get the seasonal or not.

jasrun80 · November 2009

im scared to get either -- i told my hubs i will start wearing an N-95 mask & tell people I might have a flu so they stay away from me... eek ! i worry about the side effects...

how did your docs reassure you ...??

Lambie. · November 2009

I got my flu shot before I got pregnant and h1n1 last weekend.

I understand that some people are apprehensive about the H1N1 shot (I got it, my doctor got it, and so did his wife and kids) but FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR BABY get the seasonal shot. There is no excuse not to.

CaliforniaSunshine · November 2009

I got my seasonal flu shot, but I am waiting to talk to my Dr. about the H1N1. I was going to get it and I had a question for the administering nurse right before she gave it to me. She told me she didn't know anything about the vaccine. I didn't feel comfortable getting it from her, so I decided to wait until I see my doc in 3 weeks.

piquantmel · November 2009

I got the flu shot but the H1N1 isnt available yet here. But when it is I will for sure be the first in line!

TookMyTime · November 2009

I was supposed to get my regular flu shot 3 weeks ago, but I was sick so they wouldn't give it to me. I am going to get my H1N1 shot today. I found out someone at work has H1N1 and I really don't want to get it. I will try again for seasonal flu shot later.

CrysBo79 · November 2009

I got H1N1 a few weeks ago, trying to find Seasonal but the CVS in the next town over may have them, I may go check today.

tonysbride2b · November 2009

I, luckily, got both at my first prenatal appt. last week!

katcarls · November 2009

I got the seasonal flu shot 2 weeks ago and the H1N1 yesterday.

Deltadawn8 · November 2009

Got the H1N1, not seasonal one though- they ran out.

mopsie · November 2009

I got the H1N1 vaccine first a little over a week ago. I was gonna get the seasonal flu shot after that, but I got a really bad allergic reaction to something in the vaccine, so I was going to wait and talk to my doctor before getting another vaccine. I'm glad I got the H1N1 at least, since that's way more critical.

tiniestjohnson · November 2009

I got both, so glad that I did!

amelianguy · November 2009

I got the seasonal 3 weeks ago, H1N1 yesterday. The nurse who gave me the H1N1 said side effects are stiffness/soreness in the arm, and low grade fever. In my opinion, much better than the alternative.

cactus5 · November 2009

I got one in each arm last Wednesday.

laurasue · November 2009

I did. Seasonal shot at 8 weeks, H1N1 at 12 weeks.

MrsMoe07 · November 2009

Neither

coleby914 · November 2009

I got both

sasichic · November 2009

I got them both. I got the seasonal before I got pregnant and the H1N1 after. I've got a lot of allergies and had a reaction to the H1N1 (I've not heard of anyone else reacting to it. I don't think I'll be getting the flu shot next year.
