another H1N1 vax question

[alexmommy]

My 6 mo. DS got his first regular flu shot a week ago. *If* we decide to brave the lines this Sunday in a neighboring county, will he be allowed to have it, since he got his regular flu shot? TIA.

I was told that you can actually get them on the same day if they are both the injectible shot (dead virus) and not the nasal flu mist. Your DS is too young for the mist so he should be fine according to what I was told. DS got his shots about 6 days apart for both his first and second rounds.

Thanks! Now, I need to decide whether or not to brave the lines this weekend, or hope that another appointment-only clinic miraculously happens soon... BUt, at least I'll have the option. :)

Good luck!! We braved the lines for his first shot and got lucky enough to have an appointment only clinic for his second shot!
