The San Juan Basin Health Department held a clinic Saturday to vaccinate selected kids and caregivers against the H1N1 virus. (Below are a video and poll.) I admit, I’ve been a flip-flopper on the shot (or nasal mist, the other option for administering the vaccine). Friday night, my husband and I decided to go ahead with it, but Saturday I forgot all about it until a half hour before it was ending. (Guess that was my ambivalence speaking. Or perhaps the idea of waiting in line for an undefined amount of time while my toddler nurtured a sense of unmitigated dread about the unpleasantness about to be inflicted on him made me unconsciously suppress the recollection.) I’d be interested to hear the experiences of those who went to the clinic. Also, to stay updated on the last H1N1 information, check here Tuesday or page 3A of the Durango Herald print edition for information on the number of cases diagnosed the previous week, where and when vaccination clinics will be held that week, the populations eligible for vaccination, and phone numbers and online resources to obtain information.
