Swine Flu Vaccine

[SEraider]

There are at least eight sets of vaccines you are "forced" to take in Texas before you can enroll in public school.  So the idea of a forced vaccination is nothing new.

The media and political environment in America today however is something I've never experienced before.  I'm more skeptical of reports and announcements than I've ever been.

Doesn't your state have "waiver" for not taking a vaccine for your child?

Just got the vaccine last Friday together with our 5-year-old daughter . My wife got it a week ago (works in health care). Our 9-year-old son still has to wait for it. Different risk groups...

Of course we took it . There have already been a few swine flu based deaths in my country, but no reports of vaccine problems. After all this vaccine is just a variation from the normal season's flu vaccine. They make them different every year accordingly. Also I think there have been lots more vaccinations than swine flu cases. Quite simple risk math, IMHO.

I had the swine flu and although it kicked my donut for a week it was not the end of the world. If your healthy and let yourself get well you should have no problem surviving through it. The key is not to rush the recovery. That is when you increase the chance of secondary infections that seem to be where the true problem lies.

I'm not going to get one . That's for sure !
