H1N1 Vaccine Distribution: A TX Pediatrician's View
Oct 29, 2009
We've received quite a few questions from blog readers about how H1N1 vaccine supply is being distributed. I'm happy to share what I know about it. In my own state, each medical practice wishing to administer H1N1 vaccine had to apply for it through the state health department.
My office had to provide specific information on the ages of our patients, the number of high risk patients we cared for, and the total number of active patients in our practice.
The vaccine supply we are starting to receive is based on that information and what vaccine is available. All states are handling this situation in their own way, and they are doing what they can to get vaccine to everyone as soon as possible. I know it's a frustrating situation for everyone!!!
We've also received requests from blog readers who are not patients in my practice to get H1N1 vaccine at my practice. I wish I could offer it to everyone, but unfortunately, our supply is limited (since it's based on numbers we've given to the state) and so I can only give it to existing patients.
But the good news is, if my practice is starting to receive regular shipments of H1N1 vaccine now, your child's pediatric office should be starting to see it soon as well.

The purpose behind these vaccinations is population reduction--genocide! Do not believe government PROPAGANDA and lies!
They are going to START the Swine flu poisoning campaign with CHILDREN, and then pregnant women, and then First Responders, and then medical personnel, and then elderly, etc. Then they will attempt their quarantine/forced vaccination scenario on the general public.
