In several other posts I have written about the H1N1 vaccination. Today my mother received her H1N1 vaccination at the Carol Stream Dominicks' pharmacy--one day after her 95th birthday.
On December 18th the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) authorized the H1N1 vaccine for anyone who wanted the vaccination. The Carol Stream Dominicks pharmacy received 160 doses.
The earlier information from the CDC indicated that, once sufficient supplies were available, everyone who wanted a vaccination should get one. Mom had her seasonal flu shot (also at the same Dominicks) on August 26th and we had to wait until they received their supply yesterday--on Mom's birthday. We chose to get the vaccination the day after her birthday.
We have both been fortunate to have had both the seasonal flu shot and the H1N1 shot without showing any flu-like symptoms this year.
