No parents like us are not able to get get them. Nor has my 13yr old. We have to go to Wal-mart?? I’m not sure were I stand on health care reform but knowing that the Pharmaceutical companies are going to tons of money off of this is crazy!!
I saw the section about suggested groups, but are they giving shots to parents with young children-just over six months- who are just flat out concerned about the pandemic? The parents have no chronic health conditions?
If you’re a healthcare worker you should be able to register through ODH and get the shot at a clinic for free. Kinda stupid you have to pay for it :/
Does anyone else find it funny that Wal-Mart can get the H1N1 vaccine, but yet most local schools can’t get it. Don’t forget most local doctors can’t either including Pediatricians.
