Stamford Hospital has announced that there will be a SEASONAL FLU (NOT an H1N1 Clinic as I reported previously) which is NOT FREE.
The SEASONAL FLU Vaccination Clinic will be on December 15, 2009 from 4-8 p.m....or until they run out of vaccine. http://www.stamfordhospital.org/all-services/Flu_Information.aspx (quote from link): http://www.stamfordhospital.org/all-services/specialty/Seasonal_Flu_Vaccine.aspx :

Stamford Hospital: Seasonal Flu Clinic Dec. 15
Stamford Hospital has received a shipment of seasonal flu vaccine and will conduct a vaccination clinic.
Clinic Details:
When: Tuesday, December 15, 2009, from 4 - 8 p.m., or long as vaccine lasts
Where: Tully Health Center, 32 Strawberry Hill Court.
Cost: Flu shots cost $30.
The CDC recommends a yearly seasonal flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against seasonal influenza.
For more information, please also call the FLU HOTLINE at (203) 276-4948.
From Reverend Barb: If you are not sure whether or not you should get the SEASONAL FLU vaccine with or without the H1N1 Vaccine, contact your healthcare provider. As I peruse the latest CDC, WHO, MMWR, etc websites, all I can say is that while certain indicators are decreasing slightly in some areas of the U.S., the H1N1 STILL qualifies as a PANDEMIC. There is still a possibility that the H1N1 will take-off like wildfire--Pray God that is DOES NOT!
Per the 'plain old (SEASONAL) flu', no one knows how 'hard' the SEASONAL FLU will hit on top of the H1N1. No one knows for sure what the results will be for being doubly vaccinated, but so far the data suggests that unlike the 1976 Swine Flu vaccine, the current H1N1 (also a Swine Flu) vaccine has not produced an alarming number of adverse events. Just check out http://www.cdc.gov/ and http://www.who.gov/ and http://www.fda.gov/ and http://www.mmwr.gov/ for the latest technical information.
My advice as your "Biblical Biochemist" is to use your common sense. If you usually get a seasonal flu shot, you know what to do. If you don't, then you might consider the suggestion I provide in my free Newsletter. Many use a different, homeopathic vaccination approach with excellent results, but you need to consult your healthcare provider for specifics depending on your general state of health.
Also don't forget the STAMFORD DEPT OF HEALTH H1N1 HOTLINE: 203-977-4213. I know these hotline numbers and website links are confusing, but we are dealing with an unusual flu situation. You must check both HOTLINES before you go anywhere, for all clinic details are subject to change at any time! The main thing is that you stay well and healthy and/or recover well.
