Both my 4yr old and my 1 yr old have wellness visits at the dr tomorrow. The flu has just started to hit this area, not heavily, but there are reports of it here and there. Should I delay these visits? They are supposed to get shots. Our dr's office has a healthy waiting room and a sick waiting room. I don't let either kid play with toys in those rooms. What should I do?

I say go. If you don't feel comfortable waiting even in the well-waiting room, tell the staff you'll be waiting in your car and to please call your cell phone when your time to go into the actual office is imminent.
Make sure your kids keep their hands off their faces and have a little bottle of hand sanitizer ready to go on their hands the moment you leave.
I took my daughter to her annual check-up during peak flu season. It was fine.

Chances are your kids have already come in contact with the virus and may already be caring it around. I wouldn't worry about the Dr.s office.

go - Most dr's offices being it's the height of this flu season stuff have already removed all magazines and toys anyway and are usually pretty quick about getting the sickies in to rooms rather quickly. If you are still concerned tho call and ask what precautions they are taking and if there is an exam room that has been set aside for healthy folk. I know our dr's office has 2 such exam rooms.
Blessings,
Garsy

We went today for 2 year and 6 month well visit. They have a healthy and sick waiting room. They way I look at it, if I am going to take them to Walmart or the church nursery then the healthy room at the doctor's office won't be any worse. Avoiding getting sick is important but at this point I am not willing to go into isolation.

Surpassing,
That is true. We do take them to walmart, the grocery store and church, so I guess it's much in the same. I am going to take Erin's suggestion, however, and wipe down stuff. It eases my mind.

Wow, Erin, I wish I had your guts.
Visit went well, we were the first people in the exam room, so that's nice. They have a cleaning service and the waiting room has no chair arms, which I found nice.
Here's the sticker. Our dr's family all has the swine flu. Great. She hasn't gotten it yet. Oh well. I suppose it's bound to happen sooner or later.

I was going to say the same thing.
