Why didn’t the Government of New Brunswick open all the vaccination clinics at once? We are behind and the H1N1 is in Moncton. My wife is a Healthcare worker and she is in the priority group but what about myself and our children we are exposed to it. What about the public? We’re all priority. Open the schools for H1N1 vaccinations why the wait. We’re all confused, worried, and in a panic as our kids could be exposed to this deadly H1N1 flu virus. For something we knew about forever we are still behind and the public is in a state of panic as it gets closer to our loved ones, our kids.

I will be the first to admit and I see it in people around Moncton, are we all paranoid now of the H1N1 flu virus? We all wash our hands, we see people cough or sneeze wondering if they are sick with the H1N1 flu and are more cautious then ever. Tonight there was a Halloween party for kids at my wifes work but I was hesitating bringing our children into that environment. We haven’t had the H1N1 flu shot yet and are worried not so much for ourselves but our kids. I will be the first to admit that I don’t use those hand sanitizers ever really until now. This has us all worried. Another thing that goes through my mind is when you meet someone has people changed their habit and are neglecting to shake hands now. I’m probably not the only one to feel like this. Moncton is paranoid over this H1N1 flu virus and we won’t feel safe until we get the vaccine.

The two Moncton schools reported having the H1N1 flu virus are two students and a teacher at Le Mascaret middle school and one female student at the Montessori school. For people who have kids that goes to these schools, your probably wondering is it safer to keep them home. I know I would be,  until they get this H1N1 flu virus vaccine. Why is New Brunswick behind on this and Nova Scotia is ahead of the game.

What do you all think, shouldn’t the H1N1 clinics in Moncton, Shediac and surrounding areas have been opened by now? If your kids goes to these two Moncton schools that have the H1N1 flu virus , what are you doing? Keeping them home or sending them to school. Who knows maybe the heavy absenteeism in schools is a direct result of worried parents knowing they’re sick kids at school and trying to protect them until the H1N1 vaccine is ready. I do know that the H1N1 panic is now in Moncton!
