  - that's impossible you have to wait 28 days between H1N1 and seasonal flu shot.

- there is no link between thimerosal and autism. is that what you are worried about?

  - op: honestly, I wasn't worried until I worked myself up, and I'm not even sure what I'm worried about. I am very rational and extremely pro-vax. I talk to every dr I know about this. a couple of conversations today got me riled up even though they shouldn't have.

  - My ped said we had to wait between both shots too, though not a month unless getting both "mists".

    - op: ours said only to wait if it is the same vaccine. not one and the other. they are extremely conservative in general and didn't flinch on this.

- It's ok now you have less to woory about not more.The levels of thimerisol are low in flu vaccs. as opposed to others. And as long as it is a shot both can be given at the same time.
