H1N1

Thank you Manal,

That is very important information.

To everyone who has done the H1N1  vaccination,

did you do it on transfusion date or did you allow for some time to pass after your transfusion and then did it (some 10 days after, that is)?


Lena.

Here is an update from CDC on H1N1

http://www.cdc.gov/Features/ChildrenH1N1/

Medical conditions that are associated with higher risk for flu complications include:

• Asthma
• Blood disorders (such as sickle cell disease)
• Chronic lung disease (such as cystic fibrosis)
• Heart disease (such as congenital heart disease and congestive heart failure)
• Endocrine disorders (such as diabetes mellitus)
• Kidney disorders
• Liver disorders
• Metabolic disorders (such as inherited metabolic disorders and mitochondrial disorders)
• Weakened immune system due to disease or medication (such as people with HIV or AIDS, cancer, or those on chronic steroids)
• Receiving long-term aspirin therapy for chronic disorders
• Pregnancy

There are also a lot of pdf documents if you check the CDC link above related to H1N1 what to do and guidelines for high risk medical conditions and H1N1

Thanks Narendra for sharing

H1N1 is not anymore a slightly epedimy (sp?) here. It's less than that. I am happy with it. I had only 1 injection of the vaccine.
I hope we wont get it ever.
