Well the H1N1 flu virus is now in Moncton! It is now confirmed that one woman in Moncton does indeed have the H1N1 flu virus and was at the Moncton Hospital. Just yesterday there were 4 more people within New Brunswick that has the H1N1 flu virus. It is official now we have it here in Moncton and many people after hearing this news are getting scared. I don’t blame them! The H1N1 flu pandemic that they have been talking about for months is now in New Brunswick!
Throughout New Brunswick and Nova Scotia it is reported high levels of absenteeism in schools and now 5 more cases of the H1N1 flu virus. Just to let people know so far there are only 9 reported confirmed cases in New Brunswick since end of April but that doesn’t mean there’s no more. These are only the ones that have been reported.
The Public Health Department are still urging people to get the H1N1 flu shot vaccine and are working the fastest they can and urge people to have patience. This is one of the biggest vaccinations programs in Canadian history and H1N1 flu shots will be given out over the next couple of months. They urge people to take precautions such as washing their hands frequently, coughing or sneezing in their arm instead of their hand and most importantly to stay home if they are feeling sick. If people follow the guidelines this can help stop the spread of the H1N1 flu virus.
Just from my observation is it seems like they were not prepared enough for this and they knew about this for months. What I don’t understand is why didn’t they have all H1N1 vaccination clinics running at the same time?? Instead they have the Public Health Offices trying to vaccinate thousands which you already know leads to 3 hour wait times and people being turned away. Everyone is scared and frightened for their kids and now we have H1N1 confirmed now in Moncton. it’s just going to get worse. If I was coordinating everything I would have had all clinics opened at the same time. This would have eliminated long line ups, better service and less frustrated and worried people. Mind you I would have had this all opened at once provided we had enough H1N1 vaccine to go around. They keep saying they do so why didn’t they have all clinics opened at the same time??? They said they had brought nurses out of retirement to be able to handle doing all the vaccinations so what’s the wait?
Now a Moncton woman does indeed have the H1N1 flu virus and many more people will be rushing down wanting to get this vaccine. Over the next two days I see the panic getting worse for those of you who want to get it. I know they planned as much as they could but I still believe that all H1N1 vaccine clinics should have been opened at once. That was the right call to do!
So how do you feel, should Moncton and other locations should have opened all their H1N1 clinics at once? What do you think? Does this new confirmed case of a woman in Moncton having the H1N1 flu virus make you more worried. Share your thoughts and stories.
