I'm now medically prepared for the arrival of my grandson mid-December. Today I got my H1N1 vaccine. Last month, at my regular doctor appointment I got the seasonal flu shut, but finding the H1N1 vaccine was a lot tougher.
My pregnant daughter was part of a study of the vaccine in pregnant women. So, she's pretty serious about making sure everyone who comes in contact with her son is healthy.
I've been waiting and watching for weeks to find the vaccine around here. Wake County, NC, did hold a few clinics earlier this week, but they were only open to certain groups of people. I actually fit in the priority list -- I will be helping with a newborn, but it's difficult to stand in line (besides my pain being a deterrent) when I'm not pregnant or don't have a small kid.
Finally, my doctor received a small number of vaccines and knowing about the coming grandson, I made her list. Hooray for primary care physicians who care!
Now, I'm protected and counting down the days till I'm a grandma!
