You all may have heard that 11 children in Brampton Ontario received a double dose of the H1N1 flu shot several days ago. I have just learned that this nurse is still working! Children under 6 years old are to receive half of the adult dose which is 0.25 ml while adults receive o.50 ml. After 21 days kids are to return and get the second dose of the H1N1 flu shot vaccine. Well this nurse in Brampton, Ontario gave a double dose to 11 children and yet she is still working. This shocks and amazes me! She should not be giving out anymore flu shots period as one mistake is not acceptable but its only once but to do this to 11 children and yet still be allowed to vaccinate people with the H1N1 flu shot is wrong.

One father of one of the children in which his son received a double dose of H1N1 flu shot was shocked to see her still working. I would be too! How can they allow her to keep working after 11 mistakes? Experts do say that it shouldn’t hurt the children but it was set up for a reason for children only to get half a dose. Why?

You know when we go to the hospital or a public health office people generally take it for granted that they will perform their job right. People should always ask questions and be on top of these situations and yes second guess a doctor or nurse, why not? It’s your body! With all the effects and media controversy over people getting the H1n1 flu shot to begin with over whether people should get it or not and now this happens. Parents of the 11 children have every right to be upset and mad as a double dose of a drug can cause serious effects in young children. I am outraged to see that this nurse is still giving out H1N1 flu shots! How can she still be allowed to work at H1N1 clinics in Brampton Ontario?

What do you think? Should this nurse in Brampton, Ontario still be allowed to give out H1N1 flu shots at clinics after 11 mistakes given to young children? I don’t think so, what about you?
