| Author | H1N1 vaccines NOW 230 IN STOCK! | |

chinesemusic |
We just got another 100 doses of H1N1 vaccine. We now have about 230 doses. Please call or email to book your H1N1 shot. Reserved only for patients of Dr. Pun and Dr. Lo. I am pleased to say I have not wasted a single dose of the H1N1 vaccine. We have not seen so many people sick with the flu probably H1N1 in years. We see mostly younger people who were born after the mid 1970's who didn't have natural exposure to a similar 1976 H1N1 swine flu. For 99% of us, it's just a mild illness. For the unlucky 1 in 1000 you can die. Get enough rest. Stay home if you are sick. Get a flu shot. We need to immunize enough people to prevent the spread before it mutates to a more virulent strain. It's a public health issue , not an individual health issue. Hopefully the second wave of the H1N1 pandemic will slow down. We don't want to live through another SARS. http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/identifyingpatients.htm The batch of H1N1 vaccine that were recalled by GSK (makers of H1N1 vaccine) were not our LOT numbers. |

| Author | EMAIL SUPPORT | |
chinesemusic |
If you want Email support: Because of the volume of emails from patients, I kindly ask for a registration Email Fee (1 year of email contact with Dr. Pun) per person $30 or $60 for family of 4 (2 parents and children only) because this is an uninsured medical service (i.e. OHIP does not pay me for this) I am sorry to impose this small fee due to the increasing costs in rent, upgrading and maintaining my medical and computer equipment followed by the increased volume and demands of patients. There are practically no other physicians that I know of that provide email support. I will provide one complimentary email request before full payment. This fee is part of a block fee that is legally recognized by the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons. This fee is includes e-mail service provided by both Dr. Pun and/or Dr. Lo. |

1 ) getting doctors having to order stock of 500 that could not be broken up. I could easily give 500 shots. Many doctors didn't order thinking they can give 500 shots and did not order. Also there was an order of 500 unadjuvanted vaccines for pregnant women . That's silly ! Which individual doctor has 500 pregnant women!!!??? Also, my original order form was emailed to me as a pdf by another doctor, not directly from public health! 2) tardiness of receiving the vaccines. At least I got 200 doses. 3) some family doctors got 600 doses for 2 doctors, I got 200 doses for 2 doctors, other latecomers got 100 for 4 doctors. Others who didn't order the vaccine at all got nothing. 4) Physicians in York Region had to do a telephone interview. Of course, few doctors did this. They got no vaccines. At least , in Toronto, I just had to prove my refridgerator had its temperature well controlled. 5) Toronto Public Health had this flushot schedule: Regular Flushot in October (Got lots of regular flushots) for patients over 65. The H1N1 shot will be distributed in November and the rest of the seasonal flu shots in December. 6) The media coverage of long lineups at public clinics did not help. My patients booked weeks well in advance only to find I'm running out of vaccines and only for high risk patients. 7) The immunization of H1N1 is a little late (better late than never) since I now see clinical symptoms of H1N1 (the second wave now). The third wave will be more severe. 8 ) Tendering the contract to one company GSK to manufacturer the vaccine limits supply. Now I tried to order the hepatitis B vaccine Engerix B from them. They are backordered until December. 9) I'm out of vaccines! I hope I'll get some more! |
