H1N1 Vaccine Booster Concerns

My daughter had her H1N1 vaccine at her 18 month check-up and is due for the booster tomorrow. The office made a point to tell me when I called to schedule, that the booster they have is actually a half adult dose with preservatives. They said it was nothing to be concerned with. They left a message on my machine today to confirm my appt. and they mentioned this again so now I am wondering what's up. I went on-line and can't find any info. I am all for vaccines but I wonder why they keep mentioning that it is a half adult dose with preserv. I am thinking of canceling her appt. Anybody know anything about this???

Sorry i dont know anything bout this my idaughter just reg flu shot. It does sound like they stressing the half adult doses with preservatives. If they was nothing wrong and these are the reg boosters why would they have said anything to you.

Yeah, I don't know anything about it, however, when I was listening to the public radio 90.7FM, a doctor mentioned that the adult dosage is much stronger.

If your gut is telling you something is not right, then I would go with the feeling.... a woman's instinct is always right.....

The doctor also mentioned that if all of us collectively made sure to wash our hands EACH and EVERY time we touch something outside of our homes, we cut down the chance of catching colds, flus, etc.... for example, door knobs, elevator bells, hand rails, gas pumps, the little machine to pay with your debit card at the stores, atm machines....

I actually carry santizing wipes with me everywhere I go and use them to open and close or touch anything from the stores and grocery counters sounds anal, however, it's worth it in the long run.... neither myself or anyone else in my household will get sick....

Go with your instincts.......
