Go get your flu shot now.
Hey Monkey Man, are you talking to all of us or just the last poster? I thought we reasonably healthy mortals couldn't get them until October.
You can get your regular flu shot now. Then when the PigMan visits in a couple weeks, you can repeat the process so that you too don't dig on swine.
(or dog or sewer rat or pumpkin pie, for that matter)
Now I want pie.
I was answering the post that came right before mine. The one about the Chicago marathon.
And what SR said. Regular flu shot is available now. H1N1 flu shot will be around in just a few weeks.

Duh to me. I read that information and somehow it didn't stick.
I hear there is a place in town where they are having a special wine tasting and flu shot party. I'll look into that.
Pie and coffee is nice on a crisp Fall afternoon. Let me know what that's like, it is 90 degrees and hight danger fire warnings today.

Looking at the race schedule if nothing else, I'm gonna get vaccinated today or tomorrow. Big races full of people breathing and spitting + heavy hard mileage = sicker'n shit.
Yep. I wanted to get mine this week, but it hasn't worked-out and we've been trying to figure out if the shot clinic provided by DH's work will cover all of us or just him. Today DH had the medical debit card, but I will have it tomorrow. I have a date with a needle.

Our public health flu clinics don't even start until the end of October.
My workplace does a clinic as well but hasn't advised us of the dates yet. Hmmmm
First or last...it's the same finish line

Lead levels?
I work in a manufacturing plant that uses lead...I'm in the office but they still make me get checked.

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

One day at a time
Maine just reported that delivery of a LOT of seasonal flu shots has been delayed by 4-6 weeks. Schools that have scheduled clinics are going to have to postpone them. We haven't heard anything from our kids' schools yet, though.
Here's what the paper said:
Maine is simply not getting the doses of seasonal flu vaccine it requested in order to keep up with demand given the state's strong recommendation that all schools offer vaccinations to students this fall, said the director of the Maine Center for Disease Control.
"We were getting 5,000 to 8,000 doses a day, then last Thursday it dropped to 1,000 and on Friday, we got 500," said director Dora Anne Mills. "On Monday, we got zero. That's when I was hitting the panic button. And our distributor is telling us they can't guarantee any more doses for another four to six weeks."
The upshot is that the Maine CDC is recommending all school districts that have not yet received their vaccinations postpone the clinics many have set up to take place in the next week to 10 days.
Meanwhile, at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, spokesperson Artealia Gilliard said there is no delay of the seasonal flu vaccine, "and not only that, it's being shipped out faster than typical."

.....cases right now are piggy...
I've got two kids from my classroom out with the pig. I fear "the pig."
Flu shots at school aren't until Oct. 16th (free) -- I don't think I want to wait, I'm going this weekend and just pay for it.
