PLEASE READ!!! 15 month old had flu shot now he is running a high fever??
My 15 month old son and myself both got our flu shots on Thursday. Saturday my son got a temperature of 103…Gave him tylenol but have been battling the temperature ever since. It’s now Monday early morning (1am) and his temperature is 102. I’ve called the ER and talked to a triage nurse 4 different times. They keep telling me I don’t have to bring him in. What am I supposed to do? He’s miserable and I’m worried!!!
I got sick on Saturday morning. I was throwing up and felt really horrible. My injection site is bruised and had a big red hard bump on it (my sons site looks fine). The red bump has almost gone away but again I called the ER and they told me not to come in.
The nurses tell me it’s a “coincedence” and not because of the flu shot!!
It is not a coincidence. It is more than likely the flu shot. Take him to the doctor, and go for yourself. The flu shot is STUPID… Notice how you have to get one every year? It is because the virus mutates and is different every year. I have always refused flu shots for my kids, I have 3. My oldest is 5 and has been in preschool for 2 years (due to when his b-day falls) and he has never had anything. The health department in my area will not give flu shots to anyone here unless they have lowered immune system (like the elderly or people with auto-immune diseases). We have survived alot worse than the flu, for example, scarlet fever (from experience as a kid) is much wore than the flu, why don’t they immunize against it?

Nurses protest H1N1 safety as vaccines are delayed
wake of the H1N1 swine flu pandemic.
The nurses argue that hospitals have failed to provide enough protections against swine flu for its members, this is nothing new. Neither hospitals nor governments have paid enough attention to biological events. And the current flu pandemic has obviously failed to ignite significant protective measures if nurses are now moved to strike.
As expected, vaccine supplies will be even more scarce than government projections. This means 28 million to 30 million doses, at most, will be divided around the country by the end of the month, not the 40 million-plus that states had been expecting. So far, Nevada has only received 71,600 vaccine doses, enough to vaccinate less than three percent of the population. This has caused health districts to increase rationing.
Further, the governments failure to accelerate the use of experimental drugs, like Peramivir, to rescue patients on the brink of death, has frustrated both doctors and nurses. Peramivir is an antiviral drug like Tamiflu and Relenza. But unlike those drugs, it’s being studied as an intravenous treatment for critically ill patients. Human clinical trials in the U.S. and Japan have called Peramivir safe and effective. But the FDA has not approved it.
However, the FDA has made at least 20 Peramivir exceptions, for compassionate use upon request. In addition, the FDA is considering an Emergency Use Authorization, for the drug. This would allow the government to stockpile the drug and reduce most paperwork. The FDA says the changes are coming “fairly soon” - but doctors say they’re needed now.
There is no excuse for either the vaccination or emergency use delays. Flu is not a new event, and the medical community has been aware of H1N1 since April. Further, while American medical care may be the most expensive in the world, its quality is among the lowest. Research suggests that the United States spends more than twice as much on each person for health care as most other industrialized countries. But it has fallen to last place among those countries in preventing deaths through use of timely and effective medical care.
In addition, access to care in the United States has worsened with reports suggesting that between 40 and 75 million people lack adequate health insurance or are uninsured altogether. And within the nation, the cost and quality of care vary drastically.
In some cases, the nation’s progress has been overshadowed by improvements in other industrialized countries, which typically have more centralized health systems, which makes it easier to put changes in place.
The United States, for example, has reduced the number of preventable deaths for people under the age of 75 to 110 deaths for every 100,000 people, compared with 115 deaths five years earlier, but other countries have made greater strides. As a result, the United States now ranks last in preventable mortality, just below Ireland and Portugal, according to the Commonwealth Fund’s analysis of World Health Organization data. The leader by that measure is France, followed by Japan and Australia.
The swine flu pandemic is another lesson in the pathology of governance. And unless this pathology is immediately corrected the nation can expect an ever increasing death count. And should the nation experience a bio-terrorist attack by 2013, as projected by the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction the death count will be measured in millions.

Is it okay to travel in Europe now?
Hi All,
I am traveling to Ireland in work permit for 7 months, ie till Feb 2010 with my family(i have a 5 month old baby), but swine flu is spreading across Europe and UK. Is it safe to travel for such long time with a 5 months baby, Please suggest soon
As a matter of fact, no place in the world is safe…if you don’t take precautions.
So same is the situation with Europe.
Don’t stress about it.
Swine flu is a Type A influenza virus which causes regular outbreaks of flu in pigs, but is rarely fatal. In the past. swine flu has not normally affected humans, although there have been a few cases reported in people with direct exposure to pigs or in those who have been near pigs.
1.Carry plenty of hand sanitizer and wash often while coming or going through airports, toilets.
2. Avoid people who have a fever, cough, or sneezing, or complain of any flu-like symptoms.
3.If you develop a fever of 100.5F or higher, call your doctor right away (day or night) and start drinking plenty of fluids. Stay well hydrated and get a diagnosis and treatment for whatever is causing your fever.
Just go travel and have a good time !!

Phoenix Flu Book

Phoenix Arizona – Valley Of The Sun, American Paradise
Summer is slowly turning to fall and the heat and humidity here in New England we complained about for the last 3 or 4 months will soon turn to dry, bitter cold. Heating bills arrive, along with colds and the flu, shovels take the place of rakes, snowthrowers replace lawn mowers. The days of the leisurely barefoot stroll to the mailbox are over. For some of us, winter means hibernation like so many of nature’s creatures.
There are those who venture south though. Where the sun is a little higher in the sky, the nightly temperatures don’t drop below 40 and the sky’s are not cloudy all day. With the weather patterns not being favorable to the south and southeast lately, one of the more inviting spots in America is the desert southwest. I had a chance to spend some time in Phoenix, Arizona a few years back and I can honestly say that wintering in Phoenix is high on my list of todo’s.
I rode my bicycle year round, never once touched a snow shovel in the entire time I was there, and could usually walk barefoot to my mailbox. And because I stayed active the whole year, I never piled on those “winter pounds”. Yes, life was good.
With an average yearly temperature of just under 73 degrees, Phoenix enjoys what most of us have only read about. July and August averages top out in the low 90’s. In the dead of winter, while we are scraping windshields before we can drive to work, Phoenicians are enjoying temps in the low 50’s. That’s light jacket weather for those of us closer to the North Pole.
The city of Phoenix is situated in a valley in the heart of the Sonoran Desert with the Great Basin and the Rocky Mountains to the northeast and the aptly named South Mountain to the south. It’s comfortably nestled in this crib at an elevation of about 1100 feet above sea level. Except for a few local outcroppings, the area is flat as an ironing board and if you climb one of the local mountains, Camelback, Superstition Mountains (love that name!) or Phoenix Mountain for instance, you’re treated to a spectacular view hundreds of miles in every direction. Voted one of the top 10 safest cities by Risk and Insurance Magazine back in 2005 because of the unlikely event of natural disaster, the biggest concern for residents is the summer heat.
The locals bask in the glow of the sun’s rays an average of 211 days a year, we might see 90 if we’re lucky. I personally don’t count the day as sunny if you can’t feel the heat. That brings that 90 number way down in my book.
Outdoor activities abound in Phoenix. More hiking trails, parks and preserves than you can count. Hundreds of miles of canals make perfect bike paths. Of course you’ll have to share a lane with the runners or even an occasional horse but it’s sheer joy under the fair, blue skies. The only precaution is to make sure you bring water. That’s true for almost any outdoor activity in Phoenix. With the dry climate you may not be aware of how much you’re perspiring and you can quickly dehydrate without realizing it.
For those hearty soles who don’t mind traveling a few miles, the Grand Canyon is just North of Phoenix. Daily tours are available for anyone wanting to hike or maybe take a mule ride down into the canyon. You won’t be sorry – anyone who’s been can attest to the spectacular views along the trails or even up top at the rim. There’s even a new attraction called the Grand Canyon Skyway. Dangling precariously over the South Rim, it places those who dare 70 feet out into the canyon. From nearly a mile up, about 4,000 feet, it provides a glimpse of what the falcons and eagles might see as they hunt prey from their lofty heights.
For the golf enthusiast, there are over 200 courses to challenge you and many of the PGA and LPGA tournaments are held in Phoenix. If speed is your thing, Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) hosts Indy Car and NASCAR. Of course swimming is high on everyone’s list and there’s no lack of water in Phoenix in spite of its desert location. There are no less than 6 lakes within an hour and a half of the city including Apache Lake, Lake Pleasant, Canyon and Saguaro each offering boating, sailing and fishing. There are more boat owners per capita in Arizona than any of the other 49 states.
Professional sports isn’t forgotten in the Valley of the Sun. There are 8 professional teams including the Diamondbacks, Cardinals, the Rattlers and the Suns for baseball, football and basketball fans.
Yes, the city of Phoenix has won a place in my heart just as it has of nearly anyone who’s been there. Just ask the approximately 4 million people in the Greater Phoenix area and they’ll echo the praises just as this author has. It’s a little piece of Paradise on earth.

Swine Flu Travel Advisory

Swine Flu: worst case scenario?
I am a Canadian student studying abroad in Italy in 3 weeks. By then, what could happen? I am hearing a lot about travel advisories already! I am booked to leave on the 21st. Is it possible my flight could get canceled, grounded, quarantined at the airport? If I cough in the customs line will they quarantine me? Refuse me entry? The media scares me about this swine flu.
It depends on what happens with the swine flu. You’ll just have to wait and see.
