Spinoff-ped. not recommending H1N1 vaccine
Just curious. Are any of your pediatricians not really recommending it? My pediatrician said she would give it to my DD if I would like. However, she told me she is not giving it to her children (I asked) She also said she feels there is not enough information about the vaccine and does not feel comfortable telling her patients to get it. (side effects, how to space it out with other shots, etc) It upsets me to hear so many people in this profession be so torn about this. Sorry if this has been asked before.

Re: Spinoff-ped. not recommending H1N1 vaccine
my pediatrician cant even get the shots to give out, and our family dr. isnt giving it b/c he is not comfortable considering not much is known about it.

Your peds. response was mine exactly. He is not giving it to his daughter and he didnt want to get it himself when they were mandating it.

My ped (who is also a close friend of the family) is not recommending it for his patients either - for the reasons you listed above. If someone wants to give the shot he will give it.

Re: Spinoff-ped. not recommending H1N1 vaccine
I called mine recently for another issue and they are still saying no to the vaccine.
Mostly they said its the same as the flu shot, if youre not giving her one, no need for the other cause its really not that big of a deal.
