OLYMPIA - State health officials are taking steps to ensure Washington residents at highest risk for H1N1 (swine flu) infection have broad access to the new vaccine when it's available.

In a news release, officials said Secretary of Health Mary Selecky is temporarily suspending Washington's limit on the amount of mercury (thimerosal) allowed in H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine given to pregnant women and children under three.

"It's vital to be sure everyone in a high risk group has the choice to be vaccinated when swine flu vaccine becomes available," said Secretary Selecky. "Mercury-free H1N1 vaccine may not always be in stock, and we want to be sure there are no barriers to protecting people."

The six-month suspension is effective through March 23, 2010 and applies only to H1N1 (swine flu) vaccines now being developed. As a precaution, Washington state law limits the amount of mercury that can be in vaccines for pregnant women and children under three. The secretary of health can suspend the law when there's a shortage of vaccine or during a disease outbreak - both criteria apply to the H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine. Supplies of mercury-free vaccine will be limited, which may stop people in these groups who want the vaccine from getting it. (...)

3. I'm sure all the vaccine-phobes will be duly grateful for ALL THE REST OF US

getting vaccinated so as to provide herd health and protect their useless butts.

4. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Sincerely.

5. I'll await your check for $25 to cover my out-of-pocket expense

for doing my civic duty.

6. You'll have to wait for someone else

to do that. Please do not count me among any *civilization* that would require you to take toxic substances. I'm ready should the flu come this way. THAT is my patriotism and self preservation. I don't expect anyone else to take responsibility for me. I think you misunderstood my post.

11. Your typhoid Mary ruse

is not working. I'm NOT SICK! I have never had the flu. I am not spreading anything and for you to make that accusation is libelous and defamatory. A serious charge.

Your behavior is hysterical.

15. You don't know that you've never carried the flu.

Your behavior is what is hysterical. You choose to ignore facts, and instead you buy into hysteria.

16. It was publicized that the shots are free.

What out of pocket expense?

Sebelius confirmed that H1N1 vaccines will be free, but some healthcare providers may charge an administration fee. She added that the federal government is set to spend about $1.4 billion for states and hospitals to prepare for the virus.

Is drama the only way you can push your viewpoint?
