I finally was able to get my daughter an H1N1 influenza shot today.  They gave her their very last one. 

They had a little of the nasal spray vaccine last weekend, but that's only for people with no medical issues, and they were only giving it to toddlers.

I don't particularly care whether or not I get vaccinated, but I really don't want my daughter catching swine flu, given her health issues.

The nurse who gave the shot said that H1N1 influenza seems to be decreasing here now, but they have had hundreds of kids with it over the past couple of weeks.

It's increasing here. A million people have had their flu shots now but it seems to be a bit late to stop it now.
If you vaccinate enough people, then it will die out. Also it slows the rate of spread, particularly advantagious to those especially at risk - who are first in line for the jab, along with those who might be treating them.

I'm guilt-tripping my mother into getting me a ukulele

[mothermode]I've got a guilt-tripping allergy.[/mothermode]

got a guilt-tripping allergy when not in mother function too btw.

And it is growing. Doing me a lot of good. This bitch will just say "no!"

I kind of think it's not your mother mode that had a guilt-tripping overload that triggered the allergy, but I agree saying no to someone trying to guilt trip you is probably a good thing.

That's what I was thinking too. :laugh: Can't be bothered to give them and it sure doesn't work on others who try to use it on me. Kids or otherwise. ;)

You are right there. I was just the girl who got herself guilt-tripped from very young on. Personality? Calvinism? Example of parents, feeling overly responsible for all around them? Who knows. Not a bad thing to develop an allergy for that in the past years. And yes, it has been played on me a lot, and I did let that happen. Not any more though.

The final bit of business in wrapping up my grandmas estate will be complete soon. So my aunt and mother will be done with all the work they have had to do as executors and myself and 19 cousins will soon have a bit of money to invest or play with.  :thumbup: My grandma was cool while she was with us and wrote her will with an eye to us being able to have a good time on her dime after she left. She taught me how to read and always had Dr. Seuss and dinosaur books around for me to read when I was little.

Yes, of course it will die out. At this rate, up to a million people will have had it here before it has, though.

What is the vaccination schedule like for you guys? Here, you can only get it if you're high risk. The rest of the public isn't eligible yet.

The rest of the population are getting it starting yesterday. The risk groups have been vaccinated.

I got mine last week and I'm still not walking backwards. :P

Almost finished the house I am working on. It's a vary simple house with no surprises

My parents got the first shot last Saturday, next week they'll get the regular flu shot, and the week after that the second Swineflu jab. It's organised like a decent slaughter line there. People go in one side of the building, and on their way out get checked on glucose too.

All the people eligible for the regular flu-shot are eligible for this one. And kids till the age of five. That last has been decided yesterday.
