Remember this is the same government that urged its citizens to pray for the virus to go away instead of talking about means of progression, giving vaccines, etc. At least these girls got people talking. #femen

This is sort of like that time that I put orange tassels on my nipples and pole danced to "The Final Countdown" in protest of the Bush administration's raising of the teror alert level immediately before the 2004 elections. #femen

@sydbarrettsaves, emissary of hell: Very weird juxtaposition when you consider a large percentage of sex slaves in the world are from Eastern Europe and especially weird considering FEMEN's main mission is to let the world know that the Ukraine is not a brothel... #femen

Oh how I wish I could get my little one in for the H1N1 vaccine. Little miss LeBlanc fits high risk in two areas because she was born under two pounds and has a compromised immune system and also she is under the age of 1. It just went so fast at her pediatricians office its like we never knew it was there. I was hoping they would give us a heads up since she is so high risk but alas they didn't think it was necessary. It almost makes me want to switch clinics. They only allowed people to make appointments online and didn't really bump the uber high risk kids up to get in the first dosing cycle so we have been staying home a lot and not taking any exposure risks. Sorry for the semi rant...anyone else have a preemie who has had it yet or a kid with immune system issues? I am just wondering how they reacted to it? #h1n1vaccine

@Mrs.Raoul LeBlanc: That is so ridiculous that your doc didn't bump you to the top of the list. I'm angry for you! Ours called all the higher-risk kids first to schedule them. After that, babies 6 to 24 mos. could get it (my son is 14 mos) but it was first come, first serve. Seemed like a fair system. #h1n1vaccine

@Maritsa: Awww thanks :) I appreciate the angrys in my honor. I do feel like I am about to go a little stir crazy from staying at home a lot. Plus I hate that I have to keep my kid away from so many people. I just found out her Physical Therapist has H1N1. It is a bit hard to figure out how I am going to allow her back into my house and allow her to touch my kid when I know she has been sick. She turns one on the 21st of this month and I am hoping if they don't have the vaccine before then that the office will have it at the time of her appointment. Its just kind of hard as the parent of a kid who started life as a preemie. You see them go through all this crap and hurt and poking and prodding that the thought of them being really sick again just kills you. It just seems like she has been through enough already ya know? #h1n1vaccine

Dude, that little girl is probably the best behaved, 3 year old shot recipient EVER! I had to hold my four year old down, and he fought back by giving me a purple nurple. She deserves an award! #h1n1vaccine

My kids had it a couple of hours ago. They were freaking out because they wanted the FluMist but they only had shots. The doctor and I were telling them how lucky they were to get it to no avail, they were crying and crying. In the end, they didn't even feel when the needle went in.
I'm so jealous. They are not giving it to "healthy" adults over 35 in my area yet. #h1n1vaccine

@Little Green Frog (Wise Latina): i am in an extremely high risk category such that i can't receive flu mist.

all they have for clinics in my area is flu mist.

feel lucky that you are not in a high risk category and that your children could have the shot. #h1n1vaccine

@lermanzo: You have no idea how much I appreciate they let them have the shot. I completely understand you and that is why I'm just going to sit and wait here until the bulk of the vaccine comes in December without whinning. #h1n1vaccine

@Little Green Frog (Wise Latina): haha i figured... i am more just frustrated at the way it is being distributed here. i should have a reserved dose at my doc's office, and i don't. and i can't call the health dept and say "i need one, can you schedule me" i have to wait in the cattle call (which i'm not supposed to do... i'm actually breaking recommendations by taking public transit, even, or going to the mall).

really, it's not you, it's the situation. #h1n1vaccine

I just want to encourage everyone to get their seasonal flu and H1N1 vaccines this year! I'm coming out a week-long swine flu haze and while I didn't sprout a curly piglet tail or snout, it was pretty gnarly. Everyone get lots of vitamin C and keep your immune systems strong.

Sending healthy vibes to everyone! #h1n1vaccine
