Govt. Red Tape Blamed for Health Care Opt out of Swine Vaccine - Vanity
Vanity ^ | 10-9-2009 | jill

Major hospital, private practices, and large health group are not giving the swine vaccine as originally planned because of the red tape involved with the government.


TOPICS: Government; Health/Medicine
KEYWORDS: health; hospital; swine; vaccine
I live in the Chicago Suburbs (DuPage County). Upon visiting my primary care physician today for a routine check up, I inquired about the swine vaccine for my 16 year old son with asthma. Two weeks ago I was told he'd be on a list but today I was told the doctor and the major hospital she is affiliated with, and their major medical group (hundreds of doctors involved) have decided NOT to administer swine flu vaccines. They directed me to a public health facility or possibly Walgreens.

The staffer told me that they were informed that the major amount of paperwork involved with administering the vaccine and the burdensome government follow up required for positive results caused such a burden that they are unable to provide the vaccine.

Here's a glimpse of what life will be like with Obamacare.

“Here’s a glimpse of what life will be like with Obamacare.”

And in Chicago no less...good grief.

That’s nothing. Here where I live they are giving Swine flu to all of the kids in Public Schools, but the parochial shool kids will have to pay for theirs.

Separation of Church and State I suppose.

Sounds pretty stupid to me.

If you pay taxes to the the public schools and this vaccine is paid in part or whole, directly or indirectly, with tax revenue, then you are legally entitled to the public services provided. Private school students save public school systems a fortune by paying into the services and not using the resources. But, they are entitled to any public service that is funded by the tax dollar.

Talked to Walgreens pharmacy - they say it is unlikely they will be providing the H1N1 vaccine. “It looks like we weren’t chosen to carry it.”
