My Mother in law is older and gets it every year and she gets sick alot but you dont know what the severity would be if she didnt get it. If I was elderly or had health problems I would get it I just havent so far and dont get the flu so why mess with something thAt isnt a problem is how I see it. When swine flu was going around I considered it I just didnt get around to it I did get it for my daughter though. There is alot of controversy of getting the HPV shot to preteen girls to prevent cervical cancer also. I talked to my daughters doctor in detail about my concerns or things I heard about the shot and in the end I had her get it and dont regret it |
