Health insurance, flu top of 9NEWS viewers' minds

KUSA - After several weeks of talking about the flu, 9NEWS Medical Reporter Dr. John Torres is now answering all medical questions Wednesdays on 9NEWS 8 a.m.

http://www.cchn.org/. The site has a listing of all the community health centers in the state. The government gives the centers grants to take care of people who don't have insurance or who have limited insurance and can't make all the payments. A nursing mother of an 8-month-old baby asked if both she and her baby should get vaccinated for H1N1 or if the antibodies would be carried through the breast milk. "When you're breast feeding, you do give your baby special protection but those protections are very short-lived, so in order to get full protection from the flu or any other illness, they need vaccinations," Dr. John said. If you have a health question for Dr. John, e-mail mornings@9news.com.
