The Swine Flu Shot a Waste of Time!

My clinic's communicable diseases docs say we have to wait 30 days between mists. Which is a bummer for me, because I've had the real-deal flu three times and it really hits me hard.

You can still get injectable vaccine - Our employee health service was giving Flu Mist for H1N1 and regular injectable (dead) seasonal flu vaccines on the same day. Just not another dose of of live attenuated virus.

They've even gone as far as to not allow Flu Mist for people who work with *really* vulnerable populations - so you're not allowed live vaccines at all if you work with patients who have compromised immune systems. I think rehab and people who work with bone marrow transplant kids were included in that. I think they had a very small supply of injectable H1N1 for those folks.
