| Hi! Anyone know how many doses of vaccine DC has been having available at its clinics? Have they all had both shots and mist? Are Thim-free(reduced) shots available there for kids? |

| When I went they weren't running out of anything. The only Thimosol reduced shot was for pregnant women (Norartis single dose). Kids over 2 could get the mist which is Thimosol free or the shot which isn't. |

| At the DC clinic I went to on Sat (Coolidge), both the mist and shot were available for children over 2 and other high risk groups. I got the Sanofi Pasteur single-dose-vial thim-free shot, as a nursing mom to an infant. Children under 2 were being given the Sanofi Pasteur multi-dose, which DOES have thimerosal, but is the only formulation available now and approved for children under 2 (the SP single-dose thim-free shot I got is NOT approved for children under 36 months). There is only one single-dose thim-free shot, which is made by SP and comes in a prefilled syringe w/ pink plunger, approved for children under 36 months, however by all accounts it is not yet available here. |
