Thread: Will you get vaccinated for the flu?

Started 2 months ago by mikeler
I have an infant at home, so my wife and I already have been vaccinated for the regular flu and will get the H1N1 vaccine when it comes out. I'm surprised by the number of co-workers I have who don't get them and their various reasons including: 1) Potential negative long term effects of vaccines 2) They say your body just needs to build up immunity on its own 3) It's a government ...

I haven't had a flu shot in like 2 years.

My personal point of view is to use medication of any kind only if its absolutely necessary .. So going by that, I'm really split on th Flu shots.. I could be completely ignorant (plus all the alternative theory or doubts out there) but my feeling is .. why introduce bad stuff in your system.. At this time, I'm kind of ignoring the other side argument.. 'prevention is ..'

I usually get a seasonal flu shot. The H1N1 shot, however, gives me pause. It was developed AWFULLY fast. I have to wonder how well it was tested.

No, I won't. There's a pretty good chance I already got the Swine flu last year. I'm not in a high risk group, even though I come into contact with people who are (the young). The last time (only time) I got a seasonal flu shot, it made me sick - actually about as sick as my normal experience with the flu. I've been averaging about one seasonal flu every 3 to 4 years without taking ...

I think I have the flu right now. It feels like a cold, no biggie. My kids had it first (missed a few days of school) and seemed to have a much harder time than I did. I started feeling it on Friday. For me, no chills or fever or anything especially problematic. The main thing I notice is the coughing, and I feel a little run down. I've been going about my normal business, and I'm planning on playing my match tomorrow night. I'm...

My father is a physician and he gave me a very detailed one page table of the differences between the common cold, seasonal flu and H1N1. One of these days I'll get around to scanning it and posting it on the web.

Was at my PCP's office yesterday, and they had a lot of info posted regarding the flu. Might post some of it up later if I feel like typing a lot. Me...I'm hoping they'd come up with a freakin' vaccine for sinus infections. __________________ “Integrity is telling myself the truth.

Letter from my kids' school: Foremost, I want to thank you for your cooperation this past week in regards to registration for the H1N1 Flu Vaccination Clinics. I realize the time frame for registration was very tight; however, you were timely in your response which is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, today at 12:15 PM I was contacted by the County Health Department informing me that both of our scheduled clinics for next week have been...
