What is the importance of flu roster billing?
The speed of billing and reimbursement can be improved. In long term care facilities and other health care settings where all or most of the patients are provided with vaccinations against the flu, rather than taking the time to create and submit individual bills for the vaccines and administration to each patient, the health care provider can opt to use flu roster billing which allows them to submit one bill for multiple patients. The advantage is that it saves time and resources in the billing and reimbursement process. To also assure prompt and accurate payment from the insurer, there are specific requirements that must be followed for submitting this type of billing to medical insurance payers or the advantages can be offset by delays in claim processing times and other reimbursement problems in reconciling the bills.

What are the recommendations for flu vaccinations in pregnancy from the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists?
In the US, pregnant women can get the injection but not the nasal spray vaccine. The virus in the vaccine that is made to be used in a shot is dead/deactivated. The virus in the vaccine that is made to be used as a nasal spray is attenuated/weakened ("attenuated" means it is not strong enough to make you sick), but there have not been clinical trials or approval for use of nasal spray vaccinations for swine flu in pregnant women yet. See also the related links section for information and guidelines about flu vaccinations in pregnancy from the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Their general recommendation is that all pregnant women should be vaccinated against the flu regardless of the trimester.
How many shots of the H1N1 vaccine does a child under 4 need?
The injected vaccinations approved for use in the US for H1N1/09 can be given to babies as young as 6 months. Vaccinations are not given to younger babies because their immune systems are not mature enough to deal with the immune response needed for vaccinations to work. It is important that all those in contact with infants under 6 months get their vaccinations so they do not bring home the flu to babies at high risk due to their immature immune systems. The nasal mist vaccines can be given to children 2 and older. Check with your pediatrician for the best information on the appropriateness of the vaccinations for your children.
Do doctors use the same chemicals for the flu shots?

Doctors get the vaccine from the same sources as all other providers of vaccinations. The vaccine ingredients are the same.If your question is asking if the US doctors who personally take a flu shot use the same vaccines as everyone else, that answer is also yes.

What is a vaccine made with live weakened flu viruses that do not cause the flu?
In the US, that would be the vaccine used in the H1N1/09 nasal spray vaccinations. These weakened viruses used to make that nasal vaccine are called attenuated, which means weakened.

Why does Swine Flu have no medicine?
The flu is caused by viruses and they can not be killed by medicines like bacteria can when you take antibiotics for an infection. Viruses are not living organisms and, therefore, are not affected by the things that kill living bacteria. A new flu vaccine was developed for the swine flu during the pandemic of 2009 and for the last several years this vaccine has been included in the seasonal flu vaccinations. It will help to prevent infection by this virus but will not cure it once you have the flu. Treatment for the flu includes OTC remedies for the symptoms of sore throat, cough, fever, etc. and use of the antiviral drugs for flu which do not cure, but will lessen the duration and severity of symptoms if taken within 48 hrs of the first signs of the flu. See the related questions below for more information on treatment of swine flu.
