He took a nasal swab and said we should get the results next week. He said he should have been kept home 5 days after the onset of symptoms.
He gave me an Rx for Tamiflu if I develop symptoms. He had the vaccine but he is only vaccinating high risk groups right now.
He told me to bring my son back in 6 weeks or so and he will vaccinate him then.

This might have been answered in this thread already, but if your doctor is 95% sure your son had H1N1, then why would he need to get vaccinated for it again (assuming the swab comes back positive)? Does your son not have immunity to the virus now?
