Just when you thought it was safe to leave the house, the pandemic is back. The news seemed to forget all about the swine flu for a while there but this week H1N1 is all over the place. I heard that all children are going to be required to get the swine flu vaccines this year and as the mommy of a little person, I am very concerned.
Cutie Pie already has to get a million shots this year. When I go to read about the shots, I am bombarded with negative information. Many of the books I have read recommend finding a doctor who will let you pick and choose your shots. I can't imagine telling Cutie Pie's doctor, "Yes, I'd like a little more Hib, hold the MMR." Reading these books and articles makes me feel like I am being an irresponsible mother by vaccinating my child. But I really don't have a choice because Cutie Pie has to keep up with his shots or his doctor won't see him and he won't be able to go to school.
So now Cutie Pie has to get more shots. The only thing worse than getting more shots, is actually getting the swine flu. Thanks a lot, swine flu, for giving me a whole new reason to worry.
