H1N1 Flu Shot Poll

Capita · 11-05-2009, 02:27 PM

I missed 4 days of work and the flu was aweful. I'm still getting the shot though

gww0517 · 11-06-2009, 08:19 AM

That is awesome. I can't get the shot even if I wanted it. I am a health care provider so they wan me to have the active nasal one. I can't get it because I am living with some one who has a lower immune system and going to be going threw a transplant.

There is like 10 questions on the health care Sheet you have to fill out and it makes me wonder how many people anwser the questions wrong in fear, because of the mediA.
Those who stand in line for those "free" shots that are already sick and getting others sick
awhile standing in line!!

You had H1N1? You cant get it twice. You can get the regular flu though.

My family including our 4 year old and 7 month old had it for 9 days. It's not fun.

I would advise that, unless you aren't already a healthy person, leave the H1N1 shot for the people that need it. Like children with compromised immune systems or older people that may be a little frail.

My point. How many people are getting the shot that shouldn't be making it worse for everone else. I see lines with people in them and wondering how many people are already sick and getting others sick. It is a bad cycle that the Gov and stupid F'ing media put us in!!

I just saw on the news last night where the investment bankers got theirs, but the clinic's and private practices in NY are still waiting.

Yeah. H1N1 is just the flu. Its a little worse than the normal flu but its just the flu. It took me a little longer to get over it but like any other flu. I got over it.

Like usual, the media did no one any favors.

Not sure if it was H1N1 or not. Didn't want to wait in the hosipital for at least 3 hours to find out.

For the shot here in Newfoundland they have a priority list of people to get it first. Health care workers were first, some people with serious conditions next, children kindergarden to grade 3 got it yesterday, and so on... I'll be at the bottom of the list. I'm not cutting line or anything but might still be getting the shot.

Yup. our hospital has yet to get it. and the room next door to me is the lab that checks to see if people have H1N1. Good times.

BigAndy21966 · 11-11-2009, 03:44 PM

Check the Ukraine News. It has gotten worse, H1N1 is mutating.

Constant · 11-11-2009, 10:40 PM

its like a stronger version of the regular flu, of course it'll mutate. the flu and the common cold are constantly mutating, which is why we always have the chance to catch them over again (just not the same cold we had previously).

I wouldn't worry unless you're saying the virus mutated in some other way . . . .which i would hope isn't the case.

BigAndy21966 · 11-13-2009, 04:40 AM

yeah. its causing hemoragic fevers where people die with lungs full of blood, and a higher mortality rate

Constant · 11-13-2009, 05:57 AM

the virus isn't believed to have mutated. The hemorrhagic pneumonia that young adults were experiencing was caused by their own healthy immune system in what's called a cytokine storm. do a wiki on cytokine storm and it'll make sense. . . . guess I should ease up on my vitamin d =p

I am on a VFD which means that I have to have it or I can't be a medical responder.
