Is hearing about flu vaccination all the time making you anxious? It is me. Every day is a countdown to when vaccines will be available and who should receive them and in what order. I WANT IT NOW! It is human nature to want to be first when you are scared, the supply is limited and you're being told it's not your turn. Not to mention local schools are currently seeing a ton of absences from the spread of the flu and flu like viruses.

The Flu is here, so how do I protect my child??? Seasonal Flu vaccines are available for some - but not all children - and H1N1 is just starting to arrive in Louisiana for healthcare providers Friday.
