MOBILE, Alabama - The Mobile County Health Department will offer free shots to protect against the 2009 H1N1 influenza to people in high priority groups during a drive-through/walk-up clinic at 750 Congress St. on Friday, Oct. 30. The clinic will open at 9 a.m. and remain open until 3 p.m. unless the supply of vaccine is depleted before that time. Short-sleeved clothing is recommended, and appointments are not needed.

Note: People wanting to make the process of getting a shot quicker can download the required consent form from www.mobilecountyhealth.org and fill it out before coming to the clinic. The Vaccine Information Statement for the 2009 inactivated H1N1 influenza vaccine is also available at that Web site.

The high priority groups include the following people:
 Pregnant women
 Health care workers
 Children 6 months to 4 years old
 Parents, caregivers, and siblings of children less than 6 months old
 Children 5 to 18 years old with underlying medical conditions

“We are asking healthy people 25 through 64 years old and adults 65 and older to please be considerate of these high priority groups and not seek to be vaccinated at this time when vaccine supplies are limited,” says Dr. Bernard Eichold, Health Officer.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the following people should not be vaccinated without first consulting a physician: •People who have a severe (life-threatening) allergy to chicken eggs or to any other substance in the vaccine,
•People who have had a life-threatening reaction after receiving a dose of the seasonal flu vaccine,
•People who have had Guillain-Barré Syndrome, and
•People who have a moderate or severe illness.

Dr. Eichold advises people to take the following precautions to prevent the spread of colds and flu:
•Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
•Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. If you do not have tissue, cough and sneeze into your upper arm or sleeve.
•Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand
sanitizers are also effective.
•Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
•Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
•If you are sick, stay home to avoid spreading germs to others.

The above two posts are an email sent to me by a newspaper reporter on the swine flu lies that I have been discussing with this message board for some time now. I wanted to post this communication so as to lend credence to what I have been saying, not to me on a personal level, as I don’t care what you may think of me, not interested. I am only interested in the truth and making sure my fellow countrymen and women have access to it!

But anyway, pertaining to me introducing myself at the beginning of the
Baxter phone conversation. I guess she didn’t hear me, and at the end,
when I asked for her full name, she asked why, and I told her I was media,
and she said “I wasn’t supposed to say all of that to you.” The story
that is coming out on Saturday is gonna be good. You put a whole
different angle on this H1N1 pandemic, and I did plenty of research to
back this thing up. Thanks again, and if you ever need anything let me
know. Also, feel free to send in any letters to the editors like you have
been doing, we love those, and they will be put to good us. Thanks again.

I can’t find the website Carmen Reynolds once had online. They must have
taken it down, but there are a lot of support groups if you search her
name on yahoo or google that you can link with. She just didn’t want to
hand out her business card to press knowing the spot she was in. But I
did a little reasearch on the Baxter case you mentioned at the meeting at
PJC. I got a hold of someone at the coporation, and introduced myself as
media. Well, I guess the person on the other end of the phone didn’t hear
me because she admitted to basically everything that you said.
They said there was a mistake at one of their Austrian facilities, but
there was never a press release about it because “It wasn’t a big deal”.
Something like that seems to me like it would be a big deal…I don’t
know, just me. The woman did admit they had a patent that far in advance,
then again, she never told me when they got it.
I also found out, that although they are an Illiniois (American) based
company, they don’t distribute the H1N1 vaccine to America. They give it
to 5 European countries. Odd that an American company who made a mistake
over on the other side of the water is supplying them with the vaccine and
not us. Although the lady did say it was not FDA approved….yet it’s
approved in Europe.
