well, this is an issue not to be taken lightly. cuz it can strike closer to home than you would expect. I elected to have both my kids get both vaccines. flu mist for the reg. virus & shots for H1N1 (2nd dose coming up soon). not going to go thru similar experience earlier this yr where daughter contracted H1N1 & had hi grade fever up n down for 3days str8 at 103-105 - scary time! prescribed tamiflu.
no one else in my family household including myself have taken the vaccines.
but now NC reported 4cases of resistance to treatment with tamiflu, strains are mutating!
so my friend's daughter had a pretty bad cough but not signs of a cold, etc. but due to worry, they insisted the doc do something, so they prescribed a kids inhaler kit (a long wide breathing tube where u connect the inhaler on one side & face mask to child's face then she breathes it in twice, unlike adults which one just places in the mouth direct). helps her a lot. mom's fear of possible complications even tho tests came back negative.
so when one goes thru this experience, hard not to ignore the fear factor by parents.
