H1N1

Some folks have been asking me what I will do about the H1N1 vaccine for Eve. I have been hesitant, and really thought I wasn't going to do it. However, Eve's pediatrician wants her to get it. Also, there was a letter posted yesterday on the UMDF site from Dr. Cohen regarding H1N1 vaccine and mito patients. You can read it here. So, I just need to talk to Jim and then I think we'll take her in for the shot (and it is the shot and not the mist that the ped's office has).

I really like Dr. Cohen's candidness. He gives you the facts, as far as he can, gives you the data and support and tells it....like it is. Based on what he has to say in his letter, I would definitely make a decision to go for both seasonal flue and H1N1. I am trying to get both for Brittany because she is in the age range, and she has asthma. She also babysits a little boy weekly - so it's probably a good idea for her. Good luck with your decision though!
