Did you get yours yet?

No I haven't gotten it. Since the flu vaccines are egg based and I'm allergic to eggs, I can't get them. My doctor told me that years ago. My husband got a flu shot, but don't think he has any plans to get the H1N1 shot. I think you should weigh your pros and cons on your kids getting the shot. Are you in a high outbreak area? Are alot of people around you getting sick? Is it mild or much worse in the people that have gotten h1n1? Are your kids normally healthy and rarely get sick or do they seem to pick up every sniffle and cold? Just some things to think about.

I'll get the H1N1 vaccine when it is available, if it is offered to me. Since I'm not considered high risk, I probably won't get the shot. It seems that the vaccine is in short supply in our area.

I was on the fence about the whole thing, but i've made up my mind after attending a parents' meeting at my 21 months old son's daycare where they discussed it more thoroughly; they made me realize, we do not know of long term effects, such as nervous system damage, and so on, and i don;t want to risk it for myself and even less for my child.

hello Shar19, no i did not get my H1N1 vaccine yet nor did my family for that matter. much of our desire to have that vaccine, but it's not available yet in the market or in our country that's why. so the best thing that we can do for now, is to be extra careful and take precaution at all times. washing our hands regularly, eating balance diet and the likes will help us make it possible.

Hello Shar. I have heard it on radio that some special group of people like students and those who have to deal with a lot of people will get H1N1 vaccine in our country. I think that it is helpful for one to get the vaccine in case one gets swine flu as a good way of prevention from it.

The talk i hear around here is it will not be available till late nov. Then it will only be available to high risk, children and pg moms. I had heard on one report that the people that got the vacine back in the 70's are more immune that the ones that didnt get it. Personnaly i dont see how having one that long ago will help now. Anyway i did get the shot back in the 70's. There were people back then dieing from the shot.

no-i don't trust it. i'm gonna leave it for the more in need if they want it right now-i'm not in the "most vulnerable" bracket.

There is no way I am getting myself or my children the H1N1 vaccine otherwise known as the swine flu shot. I ont think it had been tested long enough at all for them to deem it as safe. I am less afraid of an immediate reaction as I am with what the long term effects of this vaccine could be without having more resaearch done on it. I heard that PA is trying to get a bill passed that would make the H1N1 vaccine mandatory for everyone. Over my dad is what I think. That is horrible and an invasion of our rights. I know a lot of people who aready got the flu shot but I am not one of them. There have been about 50 cases of swine flu in our school and the school hasent been close down yet. I know its only a matter of tmie before everyone in my house catches it.

No, I'm not going to get and I'm not going to have my kids get it either. If you get the flu shot you have to get it every year after that. I don't like needles anyway.

I am not planning on it. The regular flu vaccine yes, but not this one. It is too new and it came out too fast. I do worry about it, but I am skeptical about the vaccine.

My husband and I aren't going to get one. We don't even get the regular flu shot. My Mother will get the regular one that she gets every year. We aren't in the age limit that would let us get the H1N1 vaccine any way. And I doubt that my grandkids or 2 kids will get it, either. I'm kind of scared of these quickly-produced vaccines anyway.

Nope and don't plan on getting it either. I am in college and there have been a quite a few cases of people with H1N1, but no one had any bad complications. A personal friend who got it just said they were unbelievably tired during the worst of their symptoms. How is that different from any other flu? I haven't gotten flu vaccine in YEARS and have been alright without it. I guess some would consider it a gamble, but for me at least, I think I'll be fine without one. If you're worried about your kids though, it's better to be safe than sorry.

I have never gotten a flu shot. I have a very strong immune system. The worst I ever get is an annoying cold...not ever even bad enough to stay home from work. Flu shots, or any vaccine, make you sick. They are injecting you with the virus to trick your body into making antibodies. The problem is that you have to get sick to make antibodies to fight off the disease. And then while you are getting sick off the vaccine, another strain of flu, or some other disease, comes along and attacks because your body has concentrated all of its energy on fighting a synthetic disease and can't focus on fighting the real one.

No not yet. It is not available in my city as yet and if it is, I am not aware of its availability. But, I am doing what is important in avoiding it. I am seeing that my surroundings are clean including the neighborhood. I am in fact spearheading the campaign to keep the neighborhood clean and pretty successful at that. Hoping for the best.

I got seasonal flu vaccine. If I had grandkids I would worry and want them to get the h1n1, but for myself, I do not worry much.

I have not got the vaccination yet, myself. It is not available to us right now. We do not have insurance either but we are trying to get some as of today. I hope it is affordable. that is whay we have not got any yet.

Hi there, No, I don't plan on getting one, as they use the H1N1 virus to make the vaccine and I don't want any of it in me. My children are grown up with children of their own, and they haven't said whether or not if they were going to get it.

It's not available here yet that I am aware of. I"m not sure on getting the vaccine either, I mean this h1n1 has been around less than a year BUT how long did they test the vaccine? Are you going to need a new one like the regular shot? I dunno I can't say I trust it yet. We just our flu shots for the first time ever this year we've gotten the flu the past 2 years I swear the kids were bringing it home from school.

No, I haven't got one and I really don't feel like I'm GOING to get one. It's probably necessary, but the truth is that my health insurance seriously sucks! And why waste the $30, when the flu is largely preventable? Instead, I just use hand sanitizer once on the hour and try to cover my mouth and avoid contact with other people. LOL. It's been working so far, so we'll see.

I don't plan to get the vaccine. I've never gotten the flu and I have never taken any vaccine shots.
