No flu shot allowed in 1st T
| Wed, 11-15-2006 - 10:50am |
I tried to get a flu shot at work today and I had to get an authorization from my doc first. My doctor wouldn't authorize it, she wants me to wait until I am in the 2nd T. I was surprised, she said there is a difference of opinion on this so some docs okay it in the 1st T others don't (obviously my doc falls in the later category).
Anyone else experience this? Just curious

Depending on where you live you should be fine to wait.
Huh, that's strange. My doc said get one ASAP. I'm in OH though and we have an early/bad flu season. I got one last week at 7w, 5d.
Did the doc give a reason for waiting? I'm curious.

I didn't actually get to speak with the doc. When I asked the nurse I spoke with she just said that it is something that doctors have differing views on.
I'm in Maine so flu season starts pretty early here.
Now I feel sketchy about my docs judgement! Hopefully I'll feel better when I ask her about it during my appointment next week.
