I have been trying for weeks to get the kids the H1N1 vaccine. I have called their Pediatrician's vaccine hot line everyday to check their automatic message to see if they have the shot yet and no luck. One of our neighbors told us that Centegra in Huntley was offering the shots this week and so I found out that one of the clinics would be today starting at 4:30pm. We headed over at about 3:30pm expecting to be in a really long line. I came prepared with Zach's Nintendo DS, markers and coloring books, snacks, and plenty of toys for Brienna. When we got there the line was not that long. We waited for 45 minutes until they opened the door and then another 45 minutes to get through the shot line. I took pictures so that some day when the kids are my age I can show them pictures of the "Great Swine Flu Scare of 2009" and the day we waited in line for an hour and a half to get them their shots.
So both the kids are now protected. It makes me feel a little better since a couple of our neighbors got the H1N1 flu and one of their husbands ended up in the hospital by ambulance over the weekend. I am normally not a paranoid germ-a-phob but this for some reason was scaring me, especially for Brienna.
