clarentineThis week, I'm home on staycation, hoping to wrap up the spackling on Kith.
In addition, I'm hoping to get my H1N1 flu shot; I'm in what is normally considered a higher risk category as a result of chronic illness. What I'm finding, however, is that where vaccine is available, it's not being generally offered. My local health district is limiting the vaccine they have to pregnant women. The City of Richmond health district refers you to a specific coordinator, whose voice mail informs callers that they're taking appointments for higher risk people to get the H1N1 shot...but the voice mailbox is full. The person who gave me the number suggested it might be.
The state employees health group, into which I fall, initially said they expected vaccinations for state employees to begin in mid November. I find that unlikely.
I suppose for the moment I'll take comfort in knowing these limitations are being imposed because, for this particular type of flu, I'm not at the highest risk. I've already gotten my seasonal flu shot. But I'd really rather get the H1N1 shot.
Ah, well. An hour of the morning blown. Time to get at it.
