DS's doctor always tries to have us delay the flu shot until November, yet still enough time before Thanksgiving, to get us thru the flu season. He also gives us all prescriptions for tami-flu, so if influenza starts to go around school, preschool our workplace or even around home we can start asap. When DS was a newborn, my intern showed up for work with Influenza A to spread her germs and happiness. Could've strangled her. So my coworkers who opted not to get vaccinated all got it and I filled my script for tami-flu, which wasn't covered under my insurance. Grrr!

Thanks for the heads up....My dd is going in today to be checked (she's sick) and they wanted Ethan to come in too (he's JUST started with the head congestion and coughing). I'm not taking him as he has whatever she has and I've got a call in to his CF clinic (Riley) anyway.

Thanks again! Made my decision easier <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

We all got the flu shot in our family, but all came down with the flu a week ago. 17 out of 24 kids in my daughter's Kindergarten class came down with it over the weekend. This strain is not apart of the flu shot. Tami-flu really helped. My daughter got over it after a few days but my son is still coughing....
