We decided that the benefits of the swine flu vaccine outweigh the risks, so all three of us got the vaccine before Thanksgiving. Big D's primary physician said he's seen a lot of cases of H1N1 and that the victims are very ill. Basically he said that H1N1 is something you don't want to risk getting.
I mean, can you imagine if you decided against the vaccine, and your Princess or son got H1N1? You'd never forgive yourself. That's what we decided. Daughter is in the 24-and-under group, so she's high risk. I teach the 18-22 yo group, so I'm at risk. And hubby is at risk from being around her and me.
I have now personally known 2 people hit by h1n1- sick sick miserably sick, so no, not taking a chance with my family. Kids got their shots at school.
