A recent poll says that over 60% of all adults say they will skip getting the H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine. Of that percentage half of them don’t think they need it and the others don’t trust that it will be safe to get.
I must say that I can share the concern about a vaccine that came out so fast. Another thing is that my sister and her two boys just got over a mean case of the flu a couple weeks ago. They did not go to the doctor for it, but rode it out at home and all came out fine. She then went with her husband because he had another medical problem unrelated to the flu. My niece went with them and while my brother-in-law was in with the doctor , my sister was telling the receptionist about the flu. This woman then went on to tell my niece she could die because she could get the swine flu and didn’t get the vaccine.
Was she overreacting? Was it her place to try and scare my niece into the vaccine? I don’t know. All I do know is that I don’t have any inside information either way. So the bottom line now is it’s what you are told from doctors and other experts and what you see for yourself. Either way it’s your call. For now.
