You give such good advice...
I can tell you what my sister told me (she is an Internist and Geriatrician; my bach. degree is in Nursing) - we were talking about this vaccine.
As far as flu vaccines...she doesn't like to always give new, fairly un-tested vaccines to her family, herself, or patients. I can't recall why, but she especially felt cautious about the H1N1 vax and that it did not have enough data behind it to ensure it's safety and efficacy -- that it probably wasn't enough to outweigh its risks (currently), for most people.
I won't be getting it, both bc I don't feel I need it - but also bc it wouldn't be good for me at this particular time (my health is being kinda sucky).
