Should I get the H1N1 vaccine my company is offering? My company provides flu shots to the employees every year - we had the regular ones in late October. We just got an email that they are offering the H1N1 vaccine to us at no cost tomorrow. I haven't really researched this or paid much attention to it all since it first hit the news. Should I get the vaccine tomorrow or not? |
I wouldn't tell somebody that they should or shouldn't get it because I'm not a doctor. I would say Google "miscarriages after H1N1 vaccine" and read a bit about it. If the reports are true, then obviously there wasn't nearly enough testing done on this vaccine. JMO, I would not let the vaccine near me... |
My daughter is getting it next week at school and I plan on getting it also. Im not taking any chances that flu is deadly to even healthy people. I would get it |

I don't know about in the US, but in Canada the "hype" has sure died down. More people die from the normal flu every year than how many have died from H1N1- the news is just telling you about every case. They rushed the vaccine through so fast- which is why I am not the shot. I'm sure in 5-10 years we'll start to hear abotu the health affects people are suffering from the shot. I would work on keeping your immune system healthy and washing your hands. |
I am not getting it and neither is my daughter. My fiancee got it but that was his own choice. I have heard there has been recalls already on it. I don't think I want to take a chance even though people are dying. My cousin and her son got the H1N1 flu already and she said it wasn't as bad as the media is making it out to be they didn't even know they had it. It passed and they lived. |
You're all pretty much supporting what I was thinking. I'm in generally good health (overweight) and I did have the regular flu shot, so I don't feel like I'm high risk. I'm going to do some reading up on it tonight but my first instict was to not get it. Thanks for the input! |
Bonnie, Lucky you! Go for it! My Dr. gave it to me b4 my reg flu shot cuz I catch everything. I have chronic bronchitis,asthma,type 2 diabetes,herniated discs, just to name a few conditions! |
I'm passing on the vaccine, It's a personal decision, you have to do what feels right for you :) |
I would get it if I had the opportunity. But I have already had H1N1, so I am already immune. |
Our company does this also. They ran out of the regular flu shot before we got ours. We still are on a waiting list for it. I always take the regular flu shot. We are able to get the H1N1 and they are doing it tomorrow too. I am too chicken to take it. It was developed way to fast and I don't know what the risks are. I will take the regular flu shot if we ever get it in our area, but I am passing on the H1N1.DIL took it last week though and it didn't affect her in any adverse way yet. |
I would not get it. |
I will not get the swine flu vaccine or any other flu vaccine.......Never have, never will....... A CBS reporter did a very in depth investigation on this flu and found some startling information....... Superstar CBS Reporter Blows the Lid Off the Swine Flu Media Hype and Hysteria Ellie May, I also saw the reports coming in on women who either miscarried or gave birth to still born babies within 1-7 days of receiving the vaccine but we don't see this being covered on the news do we?...:rolleyes: |
I would say Google "miscarriages after H1N1 vaccine" and read a bit about it. If the reports are true, then obviously there wasn't nearly enough testing done on this vaccine. Wow, I was unaware of the miscarriages after the shot....thanks! I'm at 5 months now and I'm so thankful I didn't get it :) |
I got it about 2 months ago. I am just fine. Really, the swine flu is just another strain of the flu, and they made the vaccine the same way as they make the regular flu shot so there is no reason to say that it wasn't tested enough. There are risks with every vaccine, even the regular flu shot. I' betting more on science than the irrational fears of the public. |
