Quoted. Agree with both points.
I work in a building that has 500+ employees. I'll go about my life as I would have before. Keeping my area clean, not sharing food and drink, washing my hands diligently, covering my face when I sneeze, etc. I'm really not overly concerned, I'll be quite honest.

I see my Doc every October for a check up and he usually insists that I get the reg. flu shot. I'll see what he says about the h1n1.

I don't plan on getting the regular flu shot or the H1N1 either. JMO

Never had a flu shot. I can't remember last time I had the flu. I think I had some bug last year but that was more of a stomach virus. So I wasn't planning on any shots, but if I'm someplace where it's really bad I might change my mind.
I'm not afraid of the shot. But I don't tend to catch stuff either, so I thought it was kind of a waste of time. Seems like germs are afraid to catch me. ![]()

I get the regular flu shot every year, and have never experienced any problems other than a slightly sore arm. Honestly, I am not sure what I will do. I am around college students every day. They are now suggesting we may see an increase in swine flu early in the Fall once all of the kids are back in school. If that is the case, they will not have the vaccine ready.

I never get a regular flu shot, and since the old vaccines of 1976 were such a disastour, I will refuse the H1N1 flu shot as well. If I worked in a school or hospital or were still a medic, I mayhave considered it, but since I am home, and can go to bed anytime I want, ...nope, dont think so.
The DH says he will get both, but I am trying to talk him out of the H1N1. I want to see what happens to those that do take it first. He is my soul support, and I rely on him too much to risk GB or other crap. One of being sick at a time is more than enough.

I haven't made any decisions but am leaning toward no flu shot and no H1N1 shot for myself or my DD. Right now my gut is saying no.
I already received a letter from DD's school letting us know that we will receive the permission slip from school to allow them to vacinate DD! She can't be vacinated at school unless we clear it with her allergist (she is allergic to eggs and not sure if this vaccine has eggs or not). |

Never had a flu shot and have never had the flu. Isn't it strange how many of us can say that?
From what I understand the swine flu is especially nasty to little children. Others seem to recover okay. However; I will be boarding a plane for the Bahamas in November. Planes and airports expose you to EVERYTHING.....so I will check with my doc before I make a decision. Heck..who knows....there may not be enough vaccine anyway?!

My PCP said there will be a swine flu shot and then a booster swine flu shot as well. He said to definitely get it.
He is seeing about two cases per week of swine flu here in Florida, and he said that in Florida, one never sees flu in the summer because of the heat. His colleagues are worried that this means we will be inundated by flu this Fall. School started last week-- that will increase the epidemic.
