My husband tells me that, the drug companies said they had to make a different vaccine for pregnant women. They reported this to the federal gov't who in turn passed the info onto the prov. gov't. Stopping to make this safer vaccine for pregnant women caused a shortage. Prov. gov't's apparently have not shared this information with the people. I heard yesterday that AB is out of vaccine. BC (to the best of my knowledge) still has some but they are now (only now)giving it to only those who really need it. I have not heard if more is on the way or not.
An aside to Cliff: As I understand it, the H1N1 is free to all who want it. We all know that government paid for it and somewhere down the road - they will drag it out of us. It's also been reported that the residents of East Vanc. got their shots long before those with things like Asthma, heart disease etc. I won't condemn them for their lifestyle but for the most part, their lifestyle has been a choice. Others with things like Asthma etc. usually have not come upon their particular difficulty by a lifestyle choice. I have a daughter-in-law affected by asthma and she certainly didn't develop it due to lifestyle. Fortunately, she got both her shots a couple of days ago. She says that she had a nurse on either side of her, each putting a needle in an arm at the same time and both her arms were very sore within a few hours. So - if you get your shots, be aware that you will probably suffer from sore upper arms.
People who have had this flu say that the difficulty in breathing is somewhat equal to having an elephant standing on your chest.
