Flu Shots In Demand

Flu season is here and seems to be widespread. The seasonal flu and the H1N1 flu have kept doctors' offices and pharmacies swamped with patients wanting to get their flu shots and vaccines. The demand has been far greater than the supply. Many offices are out of the vaccines and have started waiting lists for the shot.
Recently, one elderly couple had to call 5 different doctors to finally find the seasonal flu shot. The problems they ran into were doctors offices' being out of supply or the doctor had to see them before administering the shot.
One mother of three is on a list for the swine flu vaccine. Her kids have been trying to get the shot since the beginning of October. Now her pediatrician advised her to check back next week. .
The demand for the shots have people exploring their options. Some general practitioners are out of their shot supply. One local doctor's office advised a patient to go to one of the local pharmacies. Walgreens, CVS and other pharmacies have days where they will give the flu shots. Another Mom is on a list for the swine flu vaccine at her Gynecologist. Between shots, it is suggested you wait 22 days.
Health officials still advise washing your hands frequently, sneezing and coughing into the bent of you elbow and staying home if you are sick. All these considerations will help you beat the germs that could cause you to be sick.
Happy hunting to finding that flu shot this flu season.
