I am just so worried about them being young (6 and 4) and the possibility of them getting this flu.

I am also very worried about this flu, ESPECIALLY for my 15 month old granddaughter. My daughter spoke with her pediatrician just the other day about the baby getting the flu shot. He told her if she were is baby he would give it to her. So...she may have her get the regular flu shot...hasn't decided on the swine shot yet. I am on the fence about it as well...they really don't know what the side effects from this shot are going to be. I read an article on it and it didn't make it sound good....at all! My Aunt sent me the symptoms for the swine flu verses cold...I will start a new thread and post it here. My daughter expressed her concern about people dying because of swine...her pedi told her that people die of the flu all the time...TO ME they are focusing on swine because it is new....Still worries me though. I think I might pass the swine shot this year until they have the long term side effects down.
