Hi all, my son has recently been exposed to a virus which presented as swine.
the docs didn't see it necessary to swab him for a confirmation of what type of
flu it was. they are not testing for it in the office, and feel that if isnt
as dangerous as the media is making it out to be. Not sure if they are down
playing the danger or is the media over doing it. I have heard of many cases
of swine in the schools that have ended well considering the kids had no
pre-existing conditions. I am opting out of taking the flu vacc and swine
vacc. I would rather take my risks with the virus than long term tremors.
good luck...

Subject: Re: [OTlist] Flu shot
My wife and I have been debating about it. We normally do not do any flu shots
ut it's scary. I think if you got the flu, you have build the antibodies and
ave some immunity. I read somewhere that if you get sick you have the
ntibodies for about 20 yrs. If you get the shot it only last for about 2 yrs.
he other thing about the shot is that they are made with metals (the
djunctives), and I don't think that can be good for you. If the shot was a one
ime deal, it would be better. Did you guys hear about the football
heerleader who after receiving the flu shot, she developed irreversible shaky
ovements. I it a difficult decision. The government thinks we should. We
ere almost forced to get the shot, if you wanted to continue to work. Long
nough, good night. Juan

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

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