Having trouble finding the swine flu vaccine?
So far, there has not been enough H1N1 vaccine to meet the demand, even for the at-risk groups identified by health officials as most vulnerable to the sickness and severe complications.
Pregnant women, toddlers and adults with health conditions such as asthma, heart disease and diabetes are considered high risk and should get to skip the lines for the vaccine. But the low supply has been targeted mostly at school children, who are also at risk.
And any adults who are healthy have been told to wait until supplies increase, which could be as late as December. Meanwhile, the flu is already circulating in record numbers.
If you want the vaccine and are having trouble getting it, please call reporter Blythe Bernhard at 314-340-8129 for a future story on this topic.

They make it next to impossible to find the n1h1 shot in St. Charles County. As a resident I go to the SCC Health Department site which tells me to refer to the St. Louis County Shot schedule however you have to prove residency. How does that help me?
I have MS live in Jefferson County, Pevely. Where & when will the H1N1 shot locations be available my area Does anyone know the locations? I am at high risk with having an auto-immune disease. Any answers for me? Thank you!! Teri
I got my family vaccinated Saturday 11/7. I waited comfortably in my car for an hour to get tickets, went and got my family, and was in line all of 10 minutes before filling out paperwork and getting vaccinated.
They did not have perservative free shots, but the flu mist (ages 2-49) is preservative free. It is quite likely that there won’t be very many preservative free shots available and the CDC has lifted the ban on pregnant women getting the shots with preservatives.
Call 314-644-4358 for information on future flu shot clinics.
This just goes to show no one cares about you but yourself. It is time as usual to look out for number one. Too many times we the less affluent are being told to be compasionate for others while society kicks us in the teeth. The sooner you learn that no one really cares about you but yourself the better off you will be. They could have made tons of flu shot by now and have neglected the publics interest again.
I wish people would educate themselves before injecting themselves with aluminum, mercury and multiple other unknown items like pig fetuses.People really are having horrible reactions to this vaccine and NOT ONE REPORTER has looked at the reactions as a whole… only individual cases that are “coincidence”.
