Well, crap.

I got the kids seasonal FluMist last Thursday. They had the shot, but I went with the Mist because Dillo was all freaked out about a shot. I thought you only had to wait 7 days after getting the seasonal Mist to get the H1N1 Mist.

The County was out of H1N1 Mist for a few days, but they have it now, and I am home with the kids today, and the County office is open and even walkable from my house. But you actually have to wait 28 days after getting seasonal Mist to get H1N1 Mist (I double-checked the CDC web site). Which means if I'd gotten the kids shots last week - which was an option - I could have gotten them Misted today.

So, if my kids die of H1N1 in the next 3 weeks, it's now officially my fault.

The County is expecting to get shots, but they have no idea when.

Did you see my blog post about this exact issue yesterday? Ellie had to get the shot because I was honest (seasonal fluMist on Oct 8) and then all hell broke loose. I didn't even put all the details in my post because it would have taken too long, but let's just say there was A LOT of screaming and sobbing.

ION, I heard on NPR this morning that WHO is now saying kids only need one dose (everyone only needs one dose) and that the CDC is reevaluating their 2 dose position. So, I'm kind of leaning towards us being done for the year wrt flu shots.

Yeah, I replied to it even (on LJ). It was looking up the CDC guidelines that made me realize I'd screwed up.

You know, I don't get those comments (the LJ replies to the blog). I wonder how many people I've blown off that way?
