The Toronto area clinics were scheduled to open to the public next week but due to the death of a 13 year old boy from the H1N1 virus many are opening today. They are requesting that only those in the high risk groups
get the shot this week and everyone else wait until next week.
Clinic locations and times are pretty clearly listed on the websites of the city of Toronto and the surrounding municipalities. We are north of Toronto but will probably go to the city of Toronto ones because there are more of them.
I was at my family doctor for the twins 8 month appt yesterday and she told me very few doctors offices have access to the vaccine so most people will have to go to the public clinics.
She said that I need to make sure everyone in my house including my nanny get vaccinated because the twins are so young. Even though they are healthy and do not have any delays because they were preemies their immune systems could be compromised. I am not usually afraid of illness or germs but this has me a bit freaked out.
We will probably wait and see what the reports are on the wait times and either go tomorrow or wait until early next week.
