Urgent Fatal Influenza A Alert

by thehardyards

(August 2007) (rank 500+)

The death of a 2 year old little boy from Influenza A had me booking an appointment for my four kids' flu shots tomorrow morning. This little boy had a temperature, and died 6 hours later. I am terrified and have no idea how I could go on if it were

my child. So far, 15 people have died.

The NSW Health Department have said it is not too late to immunise your children against Influenza. So I am investing $20 for each of my four children, and an hour out of my day to help protect my precious family.

I urge you to do it too.

Re: Urgent Fatal Influenza A Alert

I worry all the time as my daughter gets a cold and ends up in the hospital with a server case of croup. I know i should give them the shot but something just tells me not to.

great info. I didnt know about this until i saw a g/f and she heard my daughter cough.

Re: Urgent Fatal Influenza A Alert

Children from 6 months are recommended to have it done... Especially ones that have respiratory problems or any other illnessess.

One shot is enough to provide protection for adults for up to a year, but children under nine who’ve never been immunised against the flu should have two shots at least four weeks apart.
so head to your local GP and get a script and all you will have to pay is for the script, as the doctor should bulk bill you and he/she will add this in the back of their hospital/clinic book....

take care

Re: Urgent Fatal Influenza A Alert

YES it is so sad, and so scary, and i did do a article on this recently and sadly i did the wrong thing and copied some of it from a another website, and it was flagged,and waiting on to see what we do about it...

i had my kids done and so far they are all going good, and its raging in our school and community..

My Only wish would be that the government stop spending money on stupied things we dont need and help our country and our next generation and stick the flu shots on the immunisation Free for all kids ....

take care
love cazza
