I'm not sure why that was relevant, but maybe that's how they are being disbursed? Regardless when I answered UHC, I was told the shots are in fact available (I didn't specify shot or mist) but first available appt. was 9/30. LO will get hers on 10/7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-been-able-to-get-their-2-3-year-old-a-flu-shot#post-1872963 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 12:09:06 +0000 yellowbird 1872963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an appt on Oct 13th to get it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-been-able-to-get-their-2-3-year-old-a-flu-shot#post-1872935 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 11:48:52 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1872935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 got it last week at his 3y checkup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-been-able-to-get-their-2-3-year-old-a-flu-shot#post-1872934 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 11:46:32 +0000 Mamasig 1872934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2 year old got his today at his well visit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-been-able-to-get-their-2-3-year-old-a-flu-shot#post-1872932 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 11:45:54 +0000 MamaG 1872932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we had our well visit in August, our ped said they had them but hadn't received official word to start administering them.

My 4 month old's ped said they were only able to give them to high risk kids and was surprised that my other ds was able to get it. He said that there was a delay growing one strain or something so supply was limited. Older ds's doctor's office is at the hospital so maybe they have better access? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-been-able-to-get-their-2-3-year-old-a-flu-shot#post-1872896 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 11:14:22 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1872896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go in for Liam's 2.5 year well visit tomorrow, so I hope they do it then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-been-able-to-get-their-2-3-year-old-a-flu-shot#post-1872869 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 10:54:35 +0000 aegie 1872869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I scheduled one for last thursday per her pediatrician's flu shot days but we got a vm 2 days before her appointment saying they ran out.

Do you think November would be too late (that's when his next scheduled appointment is...). </p> <p>He didn't get one last year because he wasn't old enough until flu season was pretty much over, he's not in day care, and DH and I both got one, but he'll get one this year. DH got BAD sick with the flu last year, even after getting a flu shot, but he wasn't nearly as bad off as his co-workers who got the same flu but not a flu shot (2 days out of work as opposed to a week...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nytimescom-flu-quiz#post-1098775 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 16:10:37 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 1098775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got 5 right.

I only got 5 right!</p> <p>BTW have you guys seen the video they talked about?

I've given the quiz to all of my students (I teach HS). I was really glad to know that the flu virus will die on my hands by the time I get home from work since my commute is half an hour, but I'd really like to know exactly how long it can live on my clothes or hair! I'm so paranoid about getting my former 25-weeker sick. </p>
