  1. Is it possible to get a titer for H1N1?

    This sounds similar to what they do with AIDs cases in Africa. They don't have the resources to test everyone so that have to go by the symptoms.
  2. NEJM: Review Of Hospitalized US Patients With Novel H1N1

    I find the GI symptoms to be alarming.
  3. Without High Tech Care, H1N1 Death Toll Could Soar, Experts Say

    It is scary to think they will have to decide who can and cannot receive care. It sounds like that is what it is going to come down to though. How are they going to create a criteria of who will get care first?
  4. A Link To Some Facts on the H1N1 Vaccine Controversy

    Wow! There are some crazy vaccine theories out there. Imagine if our children weren't vaccinated. The mortality rate of children would increase exponentially. The reason unvaccinated kids aren't getting these infections is because of herd immunit...
  5. Children are the super spreaders. I sure hope they are pushing to vaccinate them early. I think parents will be hesitant though because of all the fear propaganda about vaccines. It's sad.
  6. Why I'm Not an Anti-Vaxer

    Yeah I think my school clinic will be providing the shot for free. I may just settle for that.
  7. I can't take it if I'm allergic to WHAT?

    Does anyone know when the mist is coming out? Will it be taking longer than the shot?
  8. How long

    If the virus can survive 24-48 hours how can it only infect you 2-8 hours after being deposited?
  9. Why I'm Not an Anti-Vaxer

    I didn't realize they were coming out with the mist too. I'm going to consider that instead of the shot.
  10. Why I'm Not an Anti-Vaxer

    My only concern about the H1N1 vaccine is the thiomersal. I've had to take thiomersal free shots now because I found I react to it. I hope they will come out with a preservative free vaccine shortly. I haven't yet heard how long before they releas...
  11. Fighting mandate regarding flu vaccines

    I don't understand how much more dangerous the H1N1 vaccine is compared to the yearly flu shot. Given that this is becoming a serious issue in hospitals isn't it worth the risk to take the shot? The more HCW that are vaccinated the less likely they...
  12. Just curious...how many??

    I personally believe I've been exposed to h1n1. However I was never swabbed. I still want to get the vaccine. This virus can easily mutate and I want to do my best to boost my immune response as I am not entirely healthy. I hope people start taking t...
  13. What would you do?

    Sounds like you should keep your kids at home. Also you can be a carrier so if you can avoid exposure that would be ideal. These are the tough decisions we are going to have to be making in the coming months. Best of luck.
  14. High priority areas?

    I found this info on the CDC website http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/vaccination/acip.htm. CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), a panel made up of medical and public health experts, met July 29, 2009, to make recommendations on who s...
