Everywhere I have read said to get the flu shots early this year and not to wait into October since it takes several weeks for them to work. Also it is best to get the regular out of the way before you start the 2 shot swine flu ones. I asked the office this and it was like..we get them when we get them.
So, I called around to see the cost and they range around 28-30.00 for regular and no where has the swine flu shots yet and one place still doesn't have the regular flu shot.
So, either we wait and hope to get in at the doctors office so we don't have to pay, or wait and find out we can't get them because they ran out and then everyone else will be pretty much through their supplies too...or, pay the price and at least get the regular shots now so when the swine flu shot comes out we can get them with no worries of getting everything at once.

That sux, Our Dr wont get them in until the first week of October & we made our appts already... They make appts to assure that those who called first get theres. I'd probably buy mine at the discount price of $10 per family member & free for me from my job if i had to wait & not have it be a for sure thing.
