H1N1 (Swine Flu) Vaccination

The H1N1 virus, or Swine Flu, is still lurking around every corner. You don't want to catch it, but the likelihood of ending up with it is great. Even more so now, since it has become airborne.

Regarding the H1N1 virus; there is good news and there is bad news.
The good news is: a vaccine has been developed!
The bad news is: it is not available yet. It will take about another month before it is distributed and can be administered to the high risk groups. Yup, they are first in line to be vaccinated.

I had already called my general practitioner and they told me they did not have it yet and it would probably be mid October before they might get it. Yesterday, I had to see my Rheumatologist and gave the nurse the third degree on the subject matter. She basically told me the same thing and advised me to give her a call around the first of the month; she might know more about it by then.

In the meantime, I would recommend trying to stay clear of coughing people and washing your hands regularly. It may be beneficial to carry some anti bacterial hand gel or disinfectant wipes with you. That way you can still ensure you have all you need to protect yourself as best as possible, in case soap and water are nowhere near.

So, wherever you go or whatever you do, be careful out there!

There are lots of people who live a want-based life, instead of doing what is best and needed. It is very easy to get caught up in it and even to get infected by it as well. It may be beneficial to carry the Bible with you. That way you can still ensure you have all you need to find good guidance and leadership.

So, wherever you go or whatever you do, heed God's word!

Exodus 15:26
and said, "If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you."

Health Coaching,
It is still going around, so it is not quite tackled yet, but they are in the process. The sooner the better.

God's Grace.

Medical Billing Software,
It sure is frightening, but hopefully with the vaccine this will be a sure thing in the past.

God's Grace.
