My wife and I have been debating about it. We normally do not do any flu shots
but it's scary. I think if you got the flu, you have build the antibodies and
have some immunity. I read somewhere that if you get sick you have the
antibodies for about 20 yrs. If you get the shot it only last for about 2 yrs.
The other thing about the shot is that they are made with metals (the
adjunctives), and I don't think that can be good for you. If the shot was a one
time deal, it would be better. Did you guys hear about the football
cheerleader who after receiving the flu shot, she developed irreversible shaky
movements. I it a difficult decision. The government thinks we should. We
were almost forced to get the shot, if you wanted to continue to work. Long
enough, good night. Juan

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)...

I already got the seasonal flu shot, as did my
husband. We both get it every year. As a severe
asthmatic, I plan to also get the H1N1 vaccine as soon as it is available.
