I suspect she'll say to do it again anyway, but I mentioned in the email being overdosed or over-vaccinated if I'm already immune to this, so hopefully she gives it some real thought and is able to figure out if it's an issue to get the shot AGAIN or if it's at all necessary.<BR/><BR/>They have already ordered the vaccine though and it arrives on the 11th, so.... :?*Tasha*https://www.blogger.com/profile/05724283252279081613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768664153512473641.post-75311458319451558912008-05-29T06:54:00.000-07:002008-05-29T06:54:00.000-07:00huh...

I saw that you posted a blog link on Hearing ...HI! I saw that you posted a blog link on Hearing Journey. I wanted to rush right over and welcome ya! My name is Abbie and I have a blog called the Chronicles of Bionic Woman. If you want you can go and check out my entire CI journey. Mind if I add your name to my long list of CI-borgs? :)<BR/><BR/>The reason why you need to get the pneumococcal vaccine is that it prevents bacterial meningitis which has been associated with cochlear implants. I know what you are saying, a pneumonia vaccine for meningitis? The reason why they use the pneumococcal vaccine is because it is the pneumococcal bacteria that causes it.<BR/><BR/>It is not an extra procedure because it is required by the FDA that prior to a CI surgery that you must get the vaccine. No body wants to see you get sick :) It is strictly routine and it is a good thing to have. All college students before they move into a dorm require the same shot. Its no biggie :)Abbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17272667052295179028noreply@blogger.com
