Looking for the H1N1 Vaccine?

I've been searching for the H1N1 vaccine for my sons. I found a list of pharmacies (through King Country Health) that list availability. Call ahead if you can to make sure they still have it. The list is updated daily.

(Note: if you are against vaccinations, fine. I just put this here for those who are interested in getting the shot/mist for their child.)

Katterman's in Laurelhurst has 900 mist and 600 injectable doses starting tomorrow (11/11) and Thursday. They will take first come, first served and allow a parent to pay and get a time slot so you don't have stand in line with your children.

Priority for kids and pregnant women so they really want to get those folks immunized first.

You can email them questions: pharmacy@kattermans.com

RBHS vaccinated all the kids, mine included, last week. Carolyn Downs as well as other King County Clinics are supposed to get a supply soon, but you have to be on the list.

They (you know, THEY) are saying that kids need two doses. I don't know how they are managing that, but our pediatrician seems to think they'll have the second dose when the time comes.

Just something to ask about.

I am still discouraged about this. I really need vaccination because my toddler has a serious heart problem BUT only flumist is available for non-highrisk adults. But data I saw shows that the mist is not particularly effective in adults. Ho hum. I hope shots are available soon. Kettermans is only giving shots to priority groups: carers of infants, asthma, pregnant women.

My kids were vaccinated at school. On the other hand, I have progressive MS and don't qualify as "high risk."I

7 AM and hundreds of people in line ALREADY according to their Tweeter feed. Guess we'll be waiting for the NEXT round.

Shannon, surely you count as high-risk? I would push for that classification if I were you.

Katterman's is out of vaccine for today (amazing 800 doses GONE in less than 3 hours) but will have another 700 doses tomorrow.

They also mention that there will be a lot more vaccine available in the upcoming weeks.

If you are in a high risk group and get a note from your physician, like a neurologist, you become one of the "at risk" groups and can make appts to get the shot.

We drove up to La Conner in Skagit County to get my son vaccinated. It's a long drive, of course, but no line.

Shannon, UWMC Roosevelt Pediatrics has a limited number of shots for kids under 3. Even if you can't find it for yourself, maybe you can get your son protected.

I just found out, anyone with a compromised immune system is now classified as "high risk." A note from a doctor doesn't hurt.

Tuesday Open Thread

The speaker list is up for the Board meeting tomorrow; not as packed as I thought with just four people on the waitlist. The majority of the speakers are speaking on high school boundaries (with several wanting to talk about Ballard High). There are only three of us speaking about the Green Dot resolution asking the City to not grant the zoning departures that Green Dot has requested.  It's me, long-time watchdog, Chris Jackins, and the head of the Washington State Charter Schools Association, Patrick D'Amelio.  (I knew Mr. D'Amelio when he headed the Alliance for Education and Big Brothers and Big Sisters; he's a stand-up guy.)

Who Is A. J. Crabill (and why should you care)?

Why You Should Care Mr. Crabill has found quite the acolyte in Director Chandra Hampson. In the course of discussions over SOFG, she says his name over and over, "A.J .says we...." Now that's not too surprising given the direction the district is heading and that it is Mr. Crabill's work with the Council of Great City Schools is how we got here. But it appears that Mr. Crabill is working very closely with Hampson and we know she wields some amount of power over the majority of the Board. Mr. Crabill is going to continue to work with the Board as SOFG is instituted in SPS. In fact, his role may become more public as it did at one SPS Board meeting in the spring where he was on the phone during the meeting and suggested the Board stop the meeting to "self-reflect." I also noticed that in a district in South Carolina, when things weren't going to plan, he blamed the Board for not following SOFG to the letter. Look for that to happen here if Board members w

Why the Majority of the Board Needs to be Filled with New Faces

This may only be a partial list of reasons; please, add anything else in the comments. The deadline to file to run for the Board is May 19th. Entire Board Majority NOT vetting the Superintendent in any way, shape or form. Even the Seattle Times thought that was wrong.  It was just absolute hubris and it was wrong. For the second time in just over a year , board members voted to negotiate a superintendent contract during a special meeting with no opportunity for public comment. This time, they showed an even deeper disregard for their responsibilities as public servants: Aborting a national search for a new superintendent and denying Interim Superintendent Brent Jones a chance to show students, parents and taxpayers that, indeed, he is the best person for the job. Government bodies can’t fast-forward through transparent processes just because they think they know the right answer. One other odd thing about the hiring of Brent Jones - most permanent SPS superintendent contracts ar
