Well, when your child is the one with epilepsy and other neurological conditions, it is frightening.
It’s not panic, but there is a real lack of information.
My husband and I would like to know how many people with epilepsy have died or been hospitalized because of H1N1.
We’d also like to know that for asthma because our other daughter has that.
Since our children are high risk for complications, should we keep them out of school because their school is having an H1N1 outbreak.
Even when you call the doctors, they don’t seem to know. I’m getting different information from the asthma doctor versus the pediatrician.
President Obama's school age daughters have not been vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says the vaccine is not available to them based on their risk......At this time only children with chronic medical conditions are receiving the vaccination because their immune system is not strong enough to fight off the strain.
A reminder to Gibbs: Malia Obama is reportedly asthmatic. Explain this contradiction, Ace.
Yes.
If the swine flu vaccine is not available for them to take (with the pediatrician's advice, of course), then you should discuss having Tamiflu on hand in case the flu hits when doctor/pharmacy is not available. Starting Tamiflu right away is VERY important.
