I'm not sure that I would consider spraying my face or that of my Children, but I thought it was rather interesting. I most certainly understand the concerns that EMT or any Health workers have, after all we might be exposed to a potential few with the flu, but for them it *could* be many and on a daily basis.

WKRC Reports :

EMS workers in Hamilton County got the H1N1 nasal vaccine today. About 4,000 doses of the spray vaccine are now in Ohio. Kentucky and Indiana got smaller shipments last week.

Local 12's Liz Bonis has the latest from Blue Ash on protecting yourself until the shots come in for all of us, in this Flu Alert.

Health care providers and paramedics are expected to be those on the front lines who will come in contact with this virus. So, it is important not just that they get this vaccine, but also that they are trained to administer it and that's part of what was going on here today.

Chief Rick Brown, Blue Ash Fire Department: "We probably have 2/3 of our department trained already in being able to administer this to each other, we'll help in schools and the different clinics they set up. We have a third to go and we'll complete that this week."

The nasal spray shipments are coming in now. The shots may still be weeks away. Until then, Fire Chief Rick Brown showed us the arsenal, so to speak, his team is also using to fight the flu.

Gloves and masks, but also hand sanitizer and even a new face sanitizers, called myclyns. It's a spray to reduce the odds the virus will get in your eyes, nose or mouth. Now, if you'd like to find out more about this spray, you really can put it right on your face and it doesn't sting if you spray it. It's probably best for emergency medicine workers, but anyone could use it. A bottle of the spray is 20 dollars.
