On that link there were no places in B. County, which I was surprised
to see.

Annie, did you then put in your own county?
Hope you find a place to get your shot soon!

could do about it,he does not have the vaccine to give,just wonder how
come supermarkets,and pharmacies can get it but your own doctor cannot.

Why don't you just go to the supermarket or drug store and pay the $15 for
it?

Yesterday my wife had an appointment with her doctor at our HMO. He gave
her a flu shot. When we got home, I had a message saying that I could get
one on 10/20 or 10/27- just call for an appointment. Called this am- all
booked up. They told me to get one wherever I could (drug store,
supermarket, etc). My HMO is DOD-funded and I'm not supposed to use
Medicare. So I asked if, since they can't give me a shot, can I use
Medicare. Answer- no. $15 isn't a big deal, but it irks me.

Please explain - What is the big deal about paying $15? Not to be
sarcastic this is a serious question. If a flu shot is so important to
you and it's a limited supply I wouldn't quibble over a few dollars.
Especially since if you get the flu your going to spend at least $15
(more) in over the counter meds to suppress the symptoms. So either you
pay now or you pay later. Is it just principal?
Personally I don't get a flu shot. Everyone I have ever known to get
one ends up with the flu.

We would gladly pay the money for the flu shot,but when you pay for a
dr,he should be able to get the serum to give people their shots And
also our neighbor went to the supermarket for his shot,and after waiting
in line for 3 hours,was told that they had closed,and were not giving
any more shots,he should go to another clinic. so it is not as simple as
it sounds,i have more important things to do than stand in a line for
hours,and then not accomplish what i stood in line for.If it comes down
to that i will forgo the flu shot.

With all the shortages in doctors that we currently have, it makes no sense
to tie up a doctor's private office with routine immunizations. If there's
ANY possibility of a shortage of such things, it also makes no sense for
private physicians to be put into the position of deciding who gets it.
Also, imagine a doctor getting it but then not having patients come in for
it because they can get it faster and cheaper elsewhere. A waste, all the
way around.

The situation this year is very different than the one last year. Last year
there wasn't enough vaccine to go around. This year? There appears to be
plenty, and lots of opportunities to get it.

There are LOTS of communities where the county health department does
routine immunizations for children, rather than pediatricians or general
practitioners. IMO that makes much more sense. Indeed YOUR health department
may well be giving flu vaccines too, it would be easy enough to find out.

Whether you receive the flu vaccine this year or not is entirely up to
YOU... and the only recourse you would have if you got sick is with
yourself... the ONLY reason I answered you in the first place was you saying
that your husband could sue if you were to become ill... sue who? you?
