H1N1 vaccine

H1N1 vaccine is available for us through work. I understand there are people / countries do not want to be vaccinated against the H1N1 virus. We had been debating for a couple of weeks. As soon as I heard California, Oregon, Washington, Florida are all in the 48 states that has widespread influenza activity, we made our decision. We had our H1N1 shot this morning. To us, it's like another flu shot. So far, we are okay.

Are they just giving them to anybody or are they following CDC guidelines? We have a shortage here in Oregon and Washington.
Glad you got one.

Why was it available to you guys via your work, that is against CDC guidelines!?!?!?! :( Well, I guess you and Florida are lucky that you got enough vaccine b/c Oregon hasn't there are alot of high risk people (cancer patients and doctors and paramedic who can't even get it :( ) I had to fight to get mine (d/t my lung surgery) and was lucky I got one.
Enjoy the weather in Florida!
