GC, some of the pharmacy's around here are giving them at as well as the urgent cares, is that an option for you?
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

McDonnalds milkshakes are made with Grimace milk.

I showed up for the shot along with 2 billion other people. >There was no parking anywhere and a ridiculous line, so I left. I don't even know what to do. None of my doctors have it and can't refer me to anyone. We have an appointment today with a pediatrician - I'm hoping maybe he has it and will take pity on me? So annoying.
Someone* was telling me her allergist had mentioned she should come there for the shot because she has it because of the special needs of some patients but they aren't getting the masses that a GP would. *(I have no idea who. Might even have been here - my brain is not entirely on line right now.)

I just read a report that NYC hospitals only have 23% of the H1N1 vaccine doses they were expecting, and that the mandatory vaccination of healthcare workers has been halted because of this. I have no idea when I'll be able to get mine.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The Cincinnati Health Department has the H1N1 vaccine, but only enough for the high-risk groups, and they are enforcing the shit out of that. People not in the high-risk groups who are waiting in line for it are getting flat-out turned away and told that it was CLEAR that only high-risk people were going to get it, so they (non-high-risk people) shouldn't have wasted their time.
I love justice.
Relatedly, I'm editing an article about H1N1 and seasonal flu. This is the conclusion in the abstract, and I am not making this up:
"Influenza subtypes continue to change causing disease in animals and humans. Utilization of immunization and antiviral treatment options are available to prevent, treat and contain the spread of this infection."
NO??? REALLY?!? Why the hell are we publishing something this obvious? We aren't goddamn Time magazine; we publish for PharmDs and the like. I think they already know that influenza subtypes fucking continue to change and that immunization and treatment IS GODDAMN AVAILABLE!
OTOH, I should be able to finish editing this thing in about 45 minutes.
t edit I pasted in the pre-edited text, if you're wondering why it's missing a serial comma in the second sentence.

Tep, can you change the title to "RESEARCHERS CASH EASIEST PAYCHECK EVER" before that article goes to print?

I read stuff like this and always think, "*I* could have used that research grant money!" But I don't have a PharmD, so no one would take me seriously. (*I* don't take me seriously!)
