Not sure if she was high risk and needed it.
Can not catch audio right now due to it being so late.
Is topic correct and it was the H1N1 shot and not the regular flu shot that did this?
I find it sad for her either way. Do not like that she will just become more fodder and ammo in the crazy debate though. Yes I do not think most people should rush in for an H1N1 shot unless they are high risk. I am however otherwise pro vaccine.
On a more personal level right now I can not even secure a regular damn flu shot, let alone a H1N1 version even if I wanted to. To add more insult to injury, after talking with the nurse I have coming in once a day right now who also works hospice every weekend.
Well I learned that they no longer permit the hospice nurses from bringing such shots to the patients, however they must take them themselves when they are available. So the hospice patients will have to visit a clinic or wherever to get one. At the same time due to tighter pharmacy rules, hospice patients and home bound people like myself have a very hard time getting narcotics to the pharmacy and home. Doctors can no longer call or fax them in, and many places require the patient to drop them off or pick them up.
Oh the no more shots thing is because insurance will not pay for it anymore. Not the actual shot, the sending it home with nurses.
