Another H1N1 vaccination clinic is set for Thursday, Nov. 12 from 8 a.m. until noon and from 1-4 p.m., according to Amy Hector BSN, RN at the Stoddard County Health Center in Bloomfield.

"We will continue to vaccinate all those as we've been doing in previous clinics," Hector said, indicating they would serve pregnant women with a physician's order and children six months to 18 years old.

During this clinic, the center will also vaccinate adults 19-64 with chronic medical conditions, people who live with or care for children younger than six months and healthcare and emergency personnel who have direct contact with patients or infectious material.

There will continue to be no charge for the vaccinations and children that qualify for the flu mist will be required to receive that formula, Hector said.

Beware of the flu mist! It only spreads the flu virus! In fact, don't trust the vaccine period!

Please, no scare tactics. Shame, when all doctors are recommending this procedures.

Doctors, psychiatrists, also recommend the use of MDMA for marital problems but it's not a good idea.

And do you believe in the practice of bleeding as an alternative, swift & Tex?

Where's your documentation that the mist spreads the germs?

I suppose you're of the opinion that the government puts the fluoride in city drinking water in order to get rid of their over-supply... Ever heard that one? It's a local favorite...

I notice the h1n1 is getting closer to home, there has been a death in Butler County.

We have had several deaths in the area around Abilene, but all had underlying health conditions. And no, I still don't trust the vaccine..I just heard another story where a young lady is partially paralyzed due to the vaccine. The doctors say she may recover to some extent, but they don't guarantee it.
