SOME GOOD NEWS ON FLU


SOME GOOD NEWS ON FLU


Everyone should know that in the midst of all the concerns about
influenza, flu, H1N1, swine flu, shots, flumists, nasal sprays, live
vaccine, inert vaccine, and boosters that there are some
very good items of news to share:


No Serious Illnesses so Far
As of October 16, 2009, Advanced Pediatrics has seen
NO serious cases of flu. NOT ONE child has been
admitted to the hospital for a case of flu so far this year.


Plenty of Vaccine so Far
We have ample supplies of seasonal influenza vaccine,
both shot and nasal spray form.


We will have H1N1 vaccine in the coming weeks.
We are a registered H1N1 vaccine site and should hear soon
when and how many doses we will receive.
Only once we have this information will we be able to set up
H1N1 immunization appointments.


BOTTOM LINE
We are actually weathering this influenza epidemic very well.
We have plenty of immunization material for seasonal and will have some
for H1N1 as well.


The only challenge we face today is that we need to be ready to
set up a schedule for offering H1N1 as soon as we receive the
material. This is the only reason we are holding on new appointments
for any flu vaccination: 
to avoid the need for unnecessary duplicate appointments and
re-scheduling.
