Will you be getting the swine flu vaccine? - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Judy in Waco · 11-01-2009, 10:44 AM

I wanted to get it because I don't want to pass it on to my husband who has serious health issues.

I was a little nervous, but happy that the health dept. had arranged for all of the teachers in our school district to get it, then...no vaccine. They didn't have enough.

I got mine today. I live with someone who is on chemo.

In all it passed like wild fire thru myself (52), my son in law (30) & each of my grandchildren (13. 11, 9 & 20 mths) within the 8 days we were visiting.

Speaking from experiencing this crap...I'd say the shot would be the least of my concerns vs. the actual flu! It's been nearly a month later...and I'm still coughing...it's just not anything to mess around with.

There are medical professionals all around us and they're all saying

to the H1N1 vaccine...so, if I hadn't already been sick...I'd be racing to get the vaccine!

Yeah I agree as a medical professional, someone who sees this at its worst at work.

Well, DH said that today he is going to give the H1N1 vaccine to himself and DD afterall. DD has severe asthma and we're worried that she would particularly suffer. The youngest will be getting the vaccine at school on Monday.
H1N1 is pretty bad in our community already. Geeesh... I HATE having to pump my kids full of foreign antibodies/vaccines!!!

Last time they tried making a swine flu vaccine in 1979 I think it was 40,000 people died from the VACCINE...yikes!!! I told my doctor I'd take my chances.

Oops! No one caught that, maybe...I think it was 40 million people got the vaccine because one person died from swine flu and then a couple of hundred people were harmed by the vaccine in 1976...I think we'd hear more about it if it were 40,000....oopsy!

No and no on the regular flu shot too.
it is concerning and somebody I live with has most likely been exposed.
I am also part of two high-risk categories.
That said, this vaccine has only been around for what, a month?
I'll just wash my hands often.
