Re: No 2nd dose needed for kids getting N1H1 immunization:-)
The government has decided that healthy kids under the age of 5 yrs old will not need the 2nd dose of N1H1 shot. Sorry for some reason the link to our local paper news story regarding this isn't working for some reason.
I thought this was only for kids over age 3, that the little ones still needed the second shot.
Which confuses the hell out of me, because why would a small child need the same dosage as an adult, but a child between the ages of 3 and 5 only needs a half dose.
This is one of the reasons I am so conflicted about getting the shot for DD.
Here are the updated recommendations for the age groups as of this morning:
According to the updated recommendations:
- Children between six months of age and under three years of age should receive two half-doses of adjuvanted vaccine, administered at least 21 days apart. The recommendation for this age group remains unchanged.
Children with chronic health conditions who are over three-years-old and under 10 should receive their first half-dose of the H1N1 flu vaccine as soon as possible, and a second dose 21 days later. The vaccine has not been approved for children under six months of age.
- Healthy children over three years of age and under 10 should only receive a single half-dose of the H1N1 vaccine, and do not need to return for a second vaccine for now ? a recommendation that may be updated as more information becomes available.
why do they have to make it so complicated? why cant they just stick to the original plan?
because it's such a new vaccine, they weren't sure how it would play out until they had larger amounts of the population vaccinated
I agree though - the constant changes of policy are confuzzling. Because neither DD nor I can get the vaccine (I had an auto-immune neurological disorder 2 years ago, and that puts DD at risk for one too), so we just get to sit and watch how it plays out with everyone else
