We in the North Thompson have not been immune to the effects (or the fear) of the H1N1. It seems in the last few weeks it has ramped up and so have people’s fear.

We’ve gone in big circles many times regarding vaccinating the kids and ourselves. Ultimately our decision not to is probably moot now that it has become apparent that the vaccine will not be prepared in time for every Canadian to be vaccinated in a timely fashion.

Our discussions are probably not much different than occur in most families in the developed world right now…and don’t need to be reiterated here.

In fact, we are wondering if two or more of us have already had it anyway…it’s hard to tell. If so, it was pretty mild. Just a few nights waking up to administer Tylenol to the girls.

Good luck to every other family during the flu season, be it swine or otherwise!
