I was at the Mercedes dealership this afternoon waiting for my wife's car. While in the waiting room I met a woman who is a doctor and has a family practice (for now anyway). We were discussing how we like our cars, when a news report on H1N1 was featured on TV. The conversation turned to H1N1, and I asked her about the side effects. The doctor was very open in telling me she will not administer the vaccine. According to her the vaccine has to be purchased through the government, then the government sets the price at $24 and every dose has to be accounted for. Then the doctors have to complete 5 pages of personal information on each patient that gets the vaccine, and this information has to be sent to the government. Kind of strange process for a flu vaccine? Any MD's on here that can verify or refute?
i'm not an md, but i saw this article: Getting H1N1 vaccine may require extra effort | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News | Breaking News for Dallas-Fort Worth | Dallas Morning News i would guess that the reasoning behind it all is the initial limited supply and the vaccination priority groups.
LewRockwell.com is carrying an article titled: The American Flu Charade. Like most sources, LewRockwell.com's contributors occasionally are careless with the truth, so I recommend critical thinking. I've not read the article. tgsam
my son got it yesterday. first time to the county clinic with him so there was paperwork to fill out but it was 3 pages and seemed normal. does 5 pages seem all that unusual at a doc's office?
so far so good. though, the national reports are kind of scary. we had a lot of people with it in my area and when our office offered the shot i decided to get it. in unrelated news i did have a hawk poop on me not five minutes afterwards. a sign of things to come? who knows.
