Swine flu
Our son, 9 years old, CF, was vaccinated six weeks ago, but this was the normal influenza vaccination. Is this vaccination sufficient? He only has digestive problems and has never had problems with the lungs. Thank god! We are very confused because of the side effects, especially with chronically ill children (a 21-month-old baby died after swine flu vaccination!!!). Our CF center does not consider a vaccination necessary, since according to them, even in case of an infection, the progression is rather mild! What is your position on this?

Pancreas
Hello! My daughter, 5 years old, CF, has lately had stomach aches quite frequently, increasingly after eating. The stool is not oily in my opinion. Until now, only the lungs were affected. Could it be that now the pancreas is getting involved too!? We were admitted to the hospital in June, did a sweat test (not conclusive), blood tests, ultrasound, but all of that was targeted more at the lungs. Many, many thanks.

Repetition of H1N1 vaccination
My daughter (7 years old, CF) got her swine flu shot and tolerated it very well. Now I wonder whether she needs to be vaccinated a second time. I heard that children below the age of nine have to be vaccinated again. In our practice, however, they told us that this has not been answered conclusively and they would get back to us if a repeated vaccination is necessary. The first vaccination was one and a half weeks ago. If yes, what should be the time interval until the next vaccination, and what if it has already been too long? Would my daughter not have sufficient immunisation then?

Gene test prior to a potential pregnancy
Hello. I am a CF patient. My wife is healthy. We are thinking thoroughly about having a child. Can my wife get tested prior to the pregnancy to see if she carries the CF gene? Where are such tests offered, who pays for it (my wife has statutory health insurance, I am with private insurance). How much does it cost? Thanks for your answer!!
