What is this?
Limited amount of flu vaccine available today only at health department
Published Wednesday, October 28, 2009
The Dallas County Health Department has a limited number of doses of the H1N1 influenza vaccine to give to individuals in targeted high-risk groups.
The health department is open until 6 p.m. today, Wednesday, to give those doses, according to Stacy Adams, a spokesperson for the county health department.
The vaccinations will be given Wednesday as long as the vaccine lasts. The health department received 500 doses and some were given to individual providers, Adams said.
Doses are limited to high-risk groups, which include: pregnant women; children 6 months through 4 years old; parents, siblings and caregivers of children less than 6 months old; children 5 to 18 years old who have underlying medical conditions and health care workers.
"We plan to give them again as soon as we have more of the vaccine," Adams said. "The supply is so limited nationwide."
Adams said the health department is asking people to "please be patient."

Between January and April of this year, 13,000 people died (about 800 a week) from the regular seasonal flu - why is this h1n1, that has killed 1000, give or take, since April, at a 'pandemic level' 6? Why has a 'national emergency' been
declared?
I don't know how anyone could trust the CDC seeing as it took an embarrassing story on CBS on how they refuse information and had been "guestimating" the actual positive totals from h1n1 to get the actual numbers. As a result of the Freedom of Information Act, CBS eventually released the positive test results for the h1n1 cases and it turned out that a massive percentage of the test results were NOT the h1n1 swine flu.
Two components of this vaccine are mercury and squalene - these have been known to cause autism, Gulf War Syndrome, Guillian Barre' Syndrome, Steven Johnson's Syndrome... Although this is few and far between, your chances of getting
these diseases are EXPONENTIALLY higher after being injected.
To each their own but I am very disappointed that there is no longer investigative journalism in this country. This is a sad time.
Parents, please research this information for yourselves and make an EDUCATED decision. Don't become or make your children guinea pigs.
