H1N1 Vaccine, Are You in it?

H1N1 flu or swine flu had been on the news for a couple of months now, and due to its causes of death, the government made a solution, a vaccination. We all know that vaccination had been used in order to prevent the spread of the disease, and to maintain an immunization in our body to survive the mutation. I have heard on the news that there are over a thousand of health care professionals who actually been immunized with the H1N1 vaccine and with some of them, the effect is fine, but to others, they experienced soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given, fever (low grade), aches, and nausea. On some cases, H1N1 vaccine can cause problem because of severe allergic reactions.

For me, I don’t think it is a bad idea nor a good idea, but I will never get the vaccine or my son. I feel like I’m a guinea pig because it’s a new vaccine and we don’t know what it is heading. Well, it’s up to you and it is not a mandatory vaccine at all and you can get it at any private or public clinic. Maybe, you need to talk to your health care provider about this matter too. This is a serious problem, and we all know that there are tons of vaccinations out there and I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do to be updated on vaccines.
