Mayo shared 100 vaccines with OMC!
This entire vaccine isn’t going to be very effective with limiting who can get it.

How about next year OMC is the only one to get it and not Mayo! It is ridiculous that one facility can get it, and another can’t? My son is high risk, but isn’t a Mayo patient. Some people who aren’t high risk are still getting it at Mayo.

Quit complaining!! Why shouldn’t Mayo (and any other facility) expect that they can reserve their vaccines for their patients? Get a regular doctor at Mayo if you want to be part of that group! For goodness sakes, I’m sick and tired of hearing the P & M of individuals who do not accept responsibility for their choices and expect that they somehow deserve EVERYTHING. My whole family has H1N1 and frankly I would take the vaccine if it was available to me, but pregnant Mayo patients need it more than I do. Drink fluids, go to bed and get a life.

reguarmom, I do agree that pregnant moms need it. I, myself am not getting it so others may, but keep getting the run around to call back.

Can I ask what makes a adult or child “high-risk”?

MN Department of Health has established “high risk” as: pregnant women, all children 6 months-4years and children 5-18 who have chronic medical conditions (like heart, lung, kidney, or liver disease, asthma, diabetes, HIV, muscular dystrophy, cancer, and other conditions that cause a weakened immune system.
And, AMEN regularmom!

Asthma?
The 0bama daughter’s are not getting the vaccination supposedly because they don’t meet the “risk factors”.
Which is very odd because one of his daughter’s has asthma and that alone qualifies her.
Not to mention the fact that they are both between the ages of 6 months and 18 years of age which the gummint says is the “risky” group.
Huh?!?!?!!!

I read the 1st daughters got the vaccine 2-3 weeks ago?

Don’t think so.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says the vaccine is not available to them based on their risk.

…yeah, 2 days ago....
The Cuacus reports they got the vaccination only after the White House flooded with questions about whether 0bama’s were vaccinated against H1N1.

Its always a conspiracy, isn’t it?
It wasn’t 2 days ago. It was reported 2 days ago, but...if you would READ...it says they got it last week …when it became available to DC schoolchildren, of which cohort they belong.
now, if they had gotten special treatment and gotten it ahead of everyone else when it wasn’t made available to all the other kids in the area, you’d be screaming just as much.
Just admit youre wrong graciously and be done with it.

Impeach Obama. While people die they tell the rest of us to cough into our sleeves. Someone needs to be held accountable for such a debacle and typically the responsibility for such incompetence lies with the “leader”. Whatever happened to “The Buck Stops Here”.

~Robert Gibbs press secretary white House

Obviously, and according to the Caucus, they changed their mind after
“the White House was flooded with QUESTIONS REGARDING whether or NOT the 0bama’s were vaccinated against H1N1.”

They received it as soon as it was available.
Just accept the fact you were caught in another lie.

Of the 100 hospitalized pregnant women due to H1N1 since April of this year, 28 women have died.
It has been unconscionable, the manner in which the Minnesota Department of Health has prioritized vaccine distribution.
The Mayo Clinic as well.
Additionally, the Minnesota Health Department has been either vague or secretive with any information related to where and when any vaccine would be available.
With no available vaccine for pregnant women in Minnesota, and the Minnesota Health Department and Mayo Clinic prioritizing healthcare workers over all high risk individuals I took action.
I called last week to Iowa to see if it was possible for my daughter, a resident of Minnesota and a pregnant woman, to receive a vaccine there.
As long as an individual fit into one of the categories in the Group 1 priority group, as she did, they did not hesitate to offer her the H1N1 vaccination regardless of her state of origin.
Every Iowa county has vaccines available to high risk individuals. Their health department website has an interactive map that tells you where and when vaccination clinics are being held as well as their web addresses and contact information including telephone numbers and location. And every single Iowa county along the Minnesota-Iowa border that I called had them available during business hours and/or during vaccine clinics held every week since October 8th.
October 8th!
We drove to Iowa to get her vaccinated a week ago Tuesday.
Minnesota and the progressive way in which they tend to do things has fallen far short of the mark. In light of their handling of this vaccine, they need to look to our neighbor to the south to see how to function with integrity and transparency.

The “ugly news” is this.
The detainees at Gitmo will recieve the H1N1 flu shot.
You need to go to the Drudgereport.com to read about this.
