HI, I am home with a newborn (he's 2 months old now), and I also have a 2 year old. I'm due to return to work (as a school OT) in January, but am seriously considering trying to extend my leave so that I don't have to send my kids to daycare (I'm especially worried about a 4 month old being exposed to swine flu). My 2 year old just had the flu, and I was so worried it made me realize that I would feel better having him get the swine flu vaccine than have him catch the actual virus. He just received the typical seasonal flu vaccine this week, and my husband and I will get it too. We also plan to get the swine flu vaccine, so that none of us risk the chance of getting swine flu and passing it on to my newborn. It's a difficult decision to make because you hear that it is only as bad as the seasonal flu, but but now we have a state of emergency declared...and in the end I will feel safer having us all vaccinated (except my newborn of course)...

We both get it every year. As a severe asthmatic, I plan to also get the H1N1 vaccine as soon as it is available. Pat At 09:54 AM 10/25/2009, you wrote: >Hello all.
