Nothing to do but wait for more H1N1 vaccine

What If? | 8:28 a.m. Oct. 27, 2009

What if a few people waiting in line already have the H1N1 virus in the incubatory stage and are not aware of it? Then there are not enough vaccines and they go home after having spread the virus to others? Just wondering.

Also I am told that the mist sprayed into nostrils of the young is a live virus. I know a nurse that has been told that, if she gets the innoculation for "swine 'flu" that is just fine, she can return to work, but if she gets the mist she must take two weeks off work, as it contains a low level of live viruses and she WILL get the swine 'flu.

Get used to standing in lines. That's the distribution/rationing method in the new paradigm we're moving to.

You may also want to try:
- Avoiding large groups or populations when you can (ie home schooling, eating at home instead of eating out, etc).

- Washing your hands often.

- Avoid touching your face as much as possible.

- Gargle twice a day with warm salt water solution or mouthwash.

- Wear a mask when you are around peole known to have the virus

My daughter works at Health South where the employees have been warned that H1N1 is "prevelant" and by following these precautions she hasn't picked it up yet.

Get the seasonal flu shot. It has two type A strains (H1N1 is an A strain)that are very very close to the swine flu. This will stimulate antibody production that will likely cover H1N1 in healthy adults and children. One doesn't have to wait for the specific swine flu vaccine.
