Flu shots

Well I found a pharmacy that still has some. Only H1N1, no seasonal. But apparently they only give to people 18 and up. He thinks it is because a pharmacist was trained to do the injections, not a nurse and so they won't do kids ( Read more... )

Well, at least you're making progress on the flu shots. Andover seems to have really dropped the ball on that this year.

Maybe towards the end of the week, I can get you down here to help me ought with slings, if you're all feeling back to normal by then. (Not just the fleece one, but do you have a good lightweight one for around the house?)

Yeah, they did drop the ball. And it is frustrating as the pharmacies now have ample supply, but can't give it to kids. So what good is it, since kids are the high risk? The only H1N1 Andover offered to the public was the mist, and asthmatics (and other contraindications) can't get it. So they basically didn't vaccinate any children asthmatics who aren't in middle or high school. (probably private school kids lost out too ( ... )
