My daughter has been exposed to H1N1 at her school. She has cerebral palsy. She got the H1N1 vaccine yesterday and today they announced 1?

If she has any symptoms, I say go for the tamiflu. Special needs kids are obviously at a higher risk than others. Plus, if she has symptoms AFTER the vaccination she may have contracted it before.

H1N1 scares me, because I also have a special needs child with a heart condition. I wouldn't take any chances. All I could find was that It takes 6 days after a fever to shedH1N1, so watching for these types of symptoms are key.

If you have any worries what so ever, contact your pediatrician.

If she just got the shot yesterday, there is absolutely no way her body would ahve had time to develop the antibodies it needs to fight off H1N1. Given that she has cerebal palsy, I would get her on Tamiflu as a preventative because children with lung disorders are at more serious risk than other people and Tamiflu only works if you catch the flu in its earliest stages. Heck, I think if nothing else, i'd get the prescription and start using it when she shows symptoms.

No, H1N1 is no worse than any other flu, actually it is causing less harm than the usual flu, H1N1 strain is being shown to be resistant to tamiflu anyway. Why pump more toxic stuff into her system, her immune system should have no problem handling the flu, just let it run it's course.

I think you have to check your daughter for some signs such as fever, colds, stomach pain. If you want to be sure, bring her to a doctor immediately for checkup. It's not advisable to just give Tamiflu or any other medicine to someone especially if he/she doesn't need it.

You better be sure first. I'm hoping that she hasn't acquired the virus. But of course, like I said, go to a doctor to be sure.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
