People who wait are playing a dangerous game? We can't get the vaccine. My children need to wait another week since they had a regular flu shot. In addition, my wife and I are not in the high risk group, and probably not eligible anyway. We just don't know. All of this scare media is too confusing. Having officials make fear statements like that, only adds fuel the fire. Dr. Dean Sienko, stop complaining, and tell us when your next clinic is and who can receive these shots. These "officials" need to describe who EXACTLY can receive the vaccinations, where, and when. Tell us exactly what we need to do instead! So, when is the next vaccination clinic? Times, dates, and who is eligible please. Why did the reporter not ask that simple question? Once again, the media has published a fear filled article, without any useful information for the public. Thanks for wasting my time.

As far as I've seen - we aren't "eligible". EVen if one of us in the house is, I am not going to expose myself to the people in the health dept so one of us can get a shot. I'd love for the family to get it, but as far as I've seen, we aren't eligible.

I think it is more that people are just not going to let the media's oversensationalism of the Swine Flu scare them. Can we move on from this story already?

Until now these clinics they hold have been said to be for that county only and then only for the priority group people. Some counties seem to have more of the shots available than others. It's confusing more than anything about who can get these H1N1 shots. I know my children and I fall into the priority group but when we go to get the shots, they run out before our turn. So we wait. It needs to be made clearer who can get these shots, where they can get them and how soon.
