Looking for the H1N1 Vaccine?

I've been searching for the H1N1 vaccine for my sons. I found a list of pharmacies (through King Country Health) that list availability. Call ahead if you can to make sure they still have it. The list is updated daily.

(Note: if you are against vaccinations, fine. I just put this here for those who are interested in getting the shot/mist for their child.)

Katterman's in Laurelhurst has 900 mist and 600 injectable doses starting tomorrow (11/11) and Thursday. They will take first come, first served and allow a parent to pay and get a time slot so you don't have stand in line with your children.

Priority for kids and pregnant women so they really want to get those folks immunized first.

You can email them questions: pharmacy@kattermans.com

RBHS vaccinated all the kids, mine included, last week. Carolyn Downs as well as other King County Clinics are supposed to get a supply soon, but you have to be on the list.

They (you know, THEY) are saying that kids need two doses. I don't know how they are managing that, but our pediatrician seems to think they'll have the second dose when the time comes.

Just something to ask about.

I am still discouraged about this. I really need vaccination because my toddler has a serious heart problem BUT only flumist is available for non-highrisk adults. But data I saw shows that the mist is not particularly effective in adults. Ho hum. I hope shots are available soon. Kettermans is only giving shots to priority groups: carers of infants, asthma, pregnant women.

My kids were vaccinated at school. On the other hand, I have progressive MS and don't qualify as "high risk."I

7 AM and hundreds of people in line ALREADY according to their Tweeter feed. Guess we'll be waiting for the NEXT round.

Shannon, surely you count as high-risk? I would push for that classification if I were you.

Katterman's is out of vaccine for today (amazing 800 doses GONE in less than 3 hours) but will have another 700 doses tomorrow.

They also mention that there will be a lot more vaccine available in the upcoming weeks.

If you are in a high risk group and get a note from your physician, like a neurologist, you become one of the "at risk" groups and can make appts to get the shot.

We drove up to La Conner in Skagit County to get my son vaccinated. It's a long drive, of course, but no line.

Shannon, UWMC Roosevelt Pediatrics has a limited number of shots for kids under 3. Even if you can't find it for yourself, maybe you can get your son protected.

I just found out, anyone with a compromised immune system is now classified as "high risk." A note from a doctor doesn't hurt.

Tuesday Open Thread

The speaker list is up for the Board meeting tomorrow; not as packed as I thought with just four people on the waitlist. The majority of the speakers are speaking on high school boundaries (with several wanting to talk about Ballard High). There are only three of us speaking about the Green Dot resolution asking the City to not grant the zoning departures that Green Dot has requested.  It's me, long-time watchdog, Chris Jackins, and the head of the Washington State Charter Schools Association, Patrick D'Amelio.  (I knew Mr. D'Amelio when he headed the Alliance for Education and Big Brothers and Big Sisters; he's a stand-up guy.)

Breaking It Down: Where the District Might Close Schools

Update 2: an absolutely fabulous interactive map made by parent Beth Day (@thebethocracy on Twitter - she covers Board meetings and is fun to read).   end of update    Update 1: Mea culpa, I did indeed get Decatur and Thornton Creek mixed up. Thanks to all for the correction. end of update   I suspect some who read this post will be irate. Why do this? Because the district seems very hellbent on this effort with no oversight skid marks from the Board.    To clearly state - I do not believe that closing 20 schools is a good idea. I think they hit on 20 because they thought it might bring in the most savings. But the jury is still out on the savings because the district has not shown its work nor its data. I suspect closing schools and THEN leasing/renting them is the big plan but that means the district really has to keep the buildings up.   But this district, with its happy talk about "well-resourced schools" is NOT acknowledging the pain and yes, gr...

Education News Roundup

From the ever-amusing Washington Policy Center : Vouchers are Pell Grants for students under 18.  Vouchers are no different than Pell Grants or GI benefits, except the money goes to the families of students younger than age 18.  Except they are. Pell Grants were created to help needy students and that's not really the goal of the voucher program.  The Pell grant website does have a couple of great studies on why low-income students drop out before finishing their higher ed and what makes a difference.
