[quote=bearnanke]ruffin rd has spray today – 11/4.[/quote]
Yep, I was just going to post it too. I just got back from there. They gave my daughter both the nasal spray H1N1 and the seasonal flu shot. My husband got the seasonal flu there too.Thanks again Aecetia!

November 4, 2009 at 11:46 AM #477409ScarlettParticipant[quote=ralphfurley]How many vaccines did you get as a kid? I’ll bet it wasn’t anywhere near the 25 + vaccines that kids get before age 2. And it is not uncommon for a pediatrician’s office to give 4 or 5 vaccine shots in one visit. You get stuck that much as a kid?[/quote]
True, I did not get as many as they were not doing that many then. But still there were quite a few before age 2. And I do have a problem with the schedule of vaccinations nowadays – too many vaccines at once. The doctors should offer the choice to get only one vaccine shot every few weeks.
Many things have changed since 40-50 years ago. Number of vaccines is only one factor. How about the fuel emissions and pollution of all kinds? Those have increased MANY times since then. They are definitely NOT harmless. Think about all the food colorants/additives/preservatives and other chemicals that are now abundant. And of course, artificial hormones, increased amounts of pesticides. The plastic and materials like that – used everywhere, esp.in food containers., you handle those a lot everyday. The household cleaners – lots more different chemicals now than before. And now we have more autism, more allergies and asthma, and obesity and other things.
As for autism, indeed a large and long study has been finished relatively recently and couldn’t prove a link between mercury in vaccines and autism.
Vaccinations CAN have side effects, some serious. FDA doesn’t approve vaccines unless the serious side effects occur in less than 1 in , like 10 million or more. There is always this disclaimer. Statistically the odds are that you are MUCH more likely to get this potential fatal disease if not vaccinated, than to have a serious effect from the vaccine (and I mean serious). There are the LONG term effects too which are not well studied with newer types of vaccines. But flu vaccines have been around a few decades.
Here is a link from CDC about thimesoral in seasonal flu vaccine:

The only flu out there is H1N1. The powers that be, thanks Obama administration, decided to produce a seasonal vaccine instead of H1N1, thus the shortage of H1N1 vaccine. If H1N1 meets the expectations of its hype, this will become a very big deal.
