Dang! Right when I was going to switch my dd over to the Pediatric Alliance they ran out of vaccines! Does anyone know of a PEDIATRIC office who offers it? I must get it in an office setting for her, NOT a public "clinic" or even a drugstore due to her SPD issues (her Dad flat out refuses to take her to those). If you would rather PM me than announce it that would be fine, as well.
Thanks!
Oh, and I am in the PITTSBURGH area...:)

What can I do next?

Hi ~ We got our girls their H1N1 shots 2 weeks ago at Pediatric South. I am so mad though, my husband took them and didn't ask about the booster so I called about when they will get scheduled for the booster and they say they are out again. You'd think that when they give the shot once they would automatically save a booster! Both of my girls are high risk and we have a 2 month old baby at home so it's very important to me that they get the booster. Now they (Pediatrics South) are saying they feel one is enough. Unfortunately, the CDC says it's not and I am going by their recommendations. So be sure where ever you go you ask about the booster too. It should be administered 4 weeks after (but not before) the first dose to be considered valid. I now have to keep calling to see when they get it back in or try to find somewhere else to get the darn boosters :(

My daughter got her's at Pediatrics South. The Mt. Lebanon office. She is getting the booster on Tuesday and as far as I know, they still have it available.

i take my dd to children's community pediatrics in south hills. they are supposed to get some soon. The Dr. said you can call the number and there will be an option to let you know if it is available. They have lots of offices and this webpage lets you know who has it in and who is waiting for a shipment.

I don't know which office you spoke with... I go to Ped Alliance Arcadia (North Hills) and they have the infant dosage, approved for children between 6 months and 3 yrs 2 months, and they have the flumist (nasal spray vaccine) for children over age 2. It is true that they do not have the traditional vaccine for older children, if that is what you are set on getting.

Good luck.
