Marla, it seems strange that the clinic would suggest doing it yourself, because I thought it was more cost effective, efficient to go to a major clinic where there are more patients. We'd asked if our neighborhood clinic could do it and we were told because he was the only infant at the time in our City, they didn't carry the vaccine and we'd have to drive 20 minutes into the downtown to the main peds clinic.</end quote></div>
I called our CF clinic yesterday because I was starting to worry about this.
The nurse told me that many insurance companies deny the shot because they do not have CF on their list of illnesses affecting the lung. She said the clinic is used to this and have gotten very good at persuading the insurance company to reconsider.
Also, she told me that (monthly) someone would either come to our home or we would go to Emma's Pediatric Clinic to recieve the shot.
So I feel much better!
