I have heard this as well and was very excited until I saw a news report. Of course, now I can't seem to find it. If anyone's interested, google John Fowler and norovirus vaccine. There is an on demand video news story about the vaccine. At the end of the story, the reporter said that "the vaccine is probably not for everyone, only those whowork in high risk settings likemilitary barracks or nursing homes. HELLO!!!!! I work in a school and I think it should count as a high risk setting. How many of us have seen schools being shut down because of an outbreak??? Plus, in order to stop the virus completely, doesn't everyone have to be innoculated? That would be the most marvelous thing in the world--a world without the threat of norovirus.


Excuse my ranting. I am very anxious these days because it seems like norovirus is all around me. Everyone I speak to seems to mention someone they know who came down with it. I worry every day that it will hit my house again. Last winter was miserable!! Anyway, anybody have any thoughts as to whetherthe medical communitycan actually restrict someone from getting vaccinated? The news report said that the vaccine should be available in 2-3 years. Not soon enough!!
