Fisrt they tell you that it is meant for individuals at high-risk. Then they tell you they only have the mist which is available to those who are not high-risk. Something is not adding up. The vaccine should have been made available before the mist.

I have been trying this number to make an appt for my children and it is busy all the time... I am sure it will be impossible to get thru any time today. How can they administer the entire county from one location!!! Sounds absurd.

What they fail to tell you is that there is no real way to tell if you have Swine flu, as you're supposed to stay home and not see the doctor unless there are complications. H1N1 is a virus, there's no treatment and it's not any worse than the run of the mill flu virus. This is somewhat of an over-reaction. Yes, public information is important, but this is NOT a medical emergency.
