Mitch & Pete's Mom
On a lighter note.
My 3 year old Pete says: Mom, I'm not going to get the flu.
Me: Good, hun. Is that because you are going to wash your hands really well and cough into your elbow?
Pete: No, the teacher says the girls are not allowed to kiss me anymore but hugging is okay.

That's adorable.
Just today our state HD reaffirmed that you can get the two vaccines together. The exception is if you get the nasal spray vaccine, in which case you need to wait 3 weeks. But if you get traditional injections, you can be vaccinated against both H1N1 and standard influenza together.
Does this surprise me? No. Our state has no idea what its doing. I swear I average 4 emails per day from our administration about this, with differing and sometimes conflicting info.
BTW the county is going to distribute H1N1 shots...yet has no plans in place about how to do so. Sounds like government to me!
Imminent Catastrophe
State bill - federal bill, I'm sure it reads 'Liberty and Justice for ALL
I think all anti-vaxers (Starting with Jenny McCarthy) should be thrown in prison. So there.

Cute! Reminds me of my 7 yr old son who raced inside after school the other day and excitedly told me, "Mom! The girls finally chased ME today! I didn't have to chase them!"
Regarding the flu shot, it's always been a catch 22 with my 10 year old. He suffers from asthma, as well as food allergies which include eggs. He's a higher risk, but he doesn't do the shot because of the eggs. Should I be asking my pediatrician about Tamiflu as a preventative? I'm not familiar with that, but it looks like it's not cultured in eggs.

We are lucky to have an excellent state HD when it comes to communicable diseases. And many of the world experts in Influenza are at my institution. Wohoo!
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
The irony is painful.
Criminy.

What? What?
Me. Today. 101.8, headache, muscle aches, cough, nasal congestion and sore throat.
That sucks. Didn't a Trentlet have this too? Or am I making that up?
Sorry. You should have been a Chinese healthcare worker in the UK.
Oh, jeez, sorry to hear that, Trent. Dads aren't supposed to get sick!

That's just how I felt after running the Monkey. Don't worry about it. You'll be fine.
101.8. Is that a PR?
I'm running Chicago on 10/11 and have a physical planned for 10/14 where I'd normally get my flu shot.
Any reason not to wait that long? I would be a little nervous about getting it now and possibly getting sick or feeling run down.
