For the first time, the state has enough swine flu vaccine to provide inoculations for all Nevadans, whether they’re in a high-risk group or not, the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services reported Friday.       The Nevada Division of Health has notified government clinics, private physicians and retail pharmacies statewide to provide H1N1 vaccinations starting Dec. 18 to people even if they are not in one of the five priority groups that, up to now, have exclusively had access to the inoculations. “We do have an adequate supply of H1N1 now to provide vaccinations for everyone, and we will continue to do that contingent on the supply in the future,” department spokeswoman Martha Framsted said. After the H1N1 virus first emerged in April, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidelines that restricted use of the limited supply to high-risk groups that were at greater risk of contracting the flu or suffering serious complications from it. Dr. Tracey Green, the state health officer, said Friday a review of the available supply of H1N1 vaccine shows there should be enough for all Nevadans. Green said public health authorities will continue encouraging vaccinations for people identified by the CDC as being most at-risk of significant complications from H1N1 infection. That includes pregnant women, caregivers for children younger than 6 months old, health care workers, people ages 6 months to 24 years, and people 24 years and older who have underlying chronic health problems. Upcoming clinicsA number of clinics are scheduled today and next week in the Reno area that still will be open primarily to the high-risk groups since those clinics were scheduled before the state’s announcement Friday, Framsted said. H1N1 vaccinations are free at any government-sponsored clinics since the vaccine is being provided for free by the federal government nationwide. Private physicians, retail pharmacies and other private providers who have enrolled with the state to receive the H1N1 vaccine can charge no more than a preset administrative fee of $21. 34. Renown Health has scheduled four clinics for seasonal and/or H1N1 flu vaccinations before ChristmasBoth seasonal and H1N1 vaccinations will be offered at the clinics being held today, Tuesday and Dec. 19. The final clinic on Dec. 22 will be have only H1N1 vaccinations. All four clinics will be held from 9 a. m. to 1 p. m. at the Reno Town Mall, 4001 S. Virginia St. on the corner of East Peckham Lane and South Virginia Street. H1N1 vaccinations will be given only to participants between the ages of 6 to 24 years of age, pregnant women, caregivers of children 6 months or younger, health care workers/emergency personnel, people ages 25 and older with certain chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems. This expands the priority groups to include those 65 years of age and older with underlying medical conditions. The cost for a H1N1 shot is $20, and the cost for the seasonal flu shot is $28. Both vaccinations are free to Medicare beneficiaries (Part B), members of Senior Care Plus or Hometown Health fully insured HMO and PPO plans. Pediatric flu shots are available by appointment only for children ages 6 months to 10 years old by calling 775-982-4148.

H1N1 vaccinations under scrutiny – 23 Nov 09 is a post from: all-about-h1n1.com

I am 7 week pregnant, and I got the H1N1 nasal spray instead of the vaccine. I just read that it is not recommended for pregnant women. Is this something I should be worried about?

I am afraid of catching the swine flu but, also afraid to get the new h1n1 vaccine. After watching Desiree Jennings story online and reading/watching the news about horrible things going wrong after people have gotten the vaccine…I am definitely paranoid. I have a 8 month old little girl and would want to protect her in every way possible but, I don’t want her/me or my husband to get the vaccine until I know it is 100% safe. Absolutely 100% safe. Does anyone else feel the same way I do?

The severity of the H1N1 outbreak was deliberately exaggerated by pharmaceutical companies that stood to make billions of dollars from a worldwide scare, a leading European health expert has claimed. Wolfgang Wodarg, head of health at the Council of Europe, has accused the makers of vaccines for the virus of influencing the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) decision to declare a pandemic.

My brother (who lives with me), came down with H1N1 a few days ago, and over the last couple of days, I’ve came down slight cough and some slight body aches, but otherwise I feel fine and am not running a fever. Could I have caught H1N1 with just these slight symptoms, and if so, do I need to go ahead and go to the doctor to get tested or should I just wait 1st to see if it gets worse?
