Another (great) talk about the H1N1 vaccine
My husband, a NPR (National Public Radio) junkie, heard a discussion regarding the H1N1 vaccine today. I read and listened to the broadcast on the NPR website tonight. I think it is a great review and question/answer summary about the vaccine. It is very consistent with the message from Bayshore Pediatrics; it’s nice to hear it again from an outside source. Below is the link to the site:

Continue to check the website and blog for information about distribution of the vaccine. Hopefully, we will have it available to everyone soon.
With a little luck (and good hand washing), we’ll get through this winter without too much illness.

More about H1N1 vaccine
Over the past weekend and today in clinic I have had multiple people ask me questions about the H1N1 vaccine. I answered their questions and then referred them to our blog to stay updated on the new information we receive. Dr. Linsmeier has already done an amazing blog on the first information we know about this vaccine. Please make sure to read this as it will inform you of many of the questions you have.
One of the questions I heard over and over this weekend is how do we know that it is safe. Right now the CDC, federal government and other agencies are in the process of testing the vaccine. More »

What about the H1N1 Vaccine?
Will there be a vaccine to prevent H1N1 (swine) flu? Will it be safe? When can we come in to get it for our kids? These are frequent questions at the office over the last few weeks. Thankfully, the volume of sick kids has significantly decreased over the last few weeks (sigh of relief!). The experts at the CDC have told us to expect a decline in influenza this summer – I’m definitely enjoying that now!
But what about the fall? Almost everyday, there is an article in the paper or on CNN.com about a presumed resurgence for this fall. How can we protect our kids, and still allow them to live their lives? (None of us are recommending hiding in the basement all winter!) I think that the greatest hope is that a vaccine can be produced to protect us this winter. More »

H1N1 Update
It has now been over 6 weeks since we first heard about H1N1 (swine) flu. While the media is not talking about it as much any more, we are still seeing a significant number of cases in our community. In fact, it seems to have increased in the North Shore community over the past two weeks. That being said, the majority of children getting H1N1 influenza have had mild cases. I thought this was important to share with you, since any new news coming from the media has only been discussing any deaths. More »
