Are you getting a H1N1 vaccination?

My school is giving out free shots, but I feel it is unnecessary. I think this whole thing is blown out of proportion. What are your thoughts?

edit:

If you've had the H1N1 then pick Yes since you're immune.

Nope. Don't see the reason for it since I'm able to get the real news about H1N1 from the staff at the hospital my dad works at.

nope, i'll probably never get any type of flu shot until im a senior citizen.

Not yet but I do plan on getting one.8)

I'm not because no one has any idea what the long term side effects might be.

Didn't have a choice in the matter, since I'm a nurse. I would have most likely decided to receive the vaccine anyways, but I see why there are people who are hesitant and stressed about the long-term effects.

My father works as an accountant type job at a hospital, so my parents dragged to get a vaccine because it was free. Turns out because I DID get the vaccine, I couldn't give blood that following week (which if I had, it would've meant I would've got a free pint of ice cream, Pint of a Pint as an Ice Cream Shop does around here), so I was very upset.

I will eventually. I wish my school would hand out free shots.

nope not getting one, never get regular flu shot either, barley even get the flu maybe twice or3 times in 20 years.

the flu "vaccine" isnt really a vaccine its a preventiatve measure that exposes you to the virus to help lessesn the length and severity of the flu if you happen to get it. hence why they give them out every year instead of once in a lifetime like other vaccines.

No, I don't intend on getting a H1N1 flu shot. Why? Because I'm not afraid of the big bad flu.:P I think it's exaggerated, and I never worry about it. It must suck to be a hypochondriac.

If i get offered it i take it if its in a plenty full supply. But they are a greater amount of people that need it more than me.

I got it a while ago due to our new baby. That is one more flu I'm resistant to. Fine by me.duxup

Congratulations.

I was supposed to get it for the same reason but I ended up picking it up from someone in the office anyway. It wasn't anything to write home about, but I could see how it could be lethal to the young and old.

I already got the best H1N1 vaccination in the world, which is... having H1N1. :P

Nah, I did get a regular flu shot, though.spazzx625

I already got one. It's mandatory for cops in my county. I also get the flu shot each year.

No, don't intend to. This video made me think about my decision. I don't take this as gospel, but she raises some things to think about.
She is a government minister from Finlad I believe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTgyakGAddM

No I didnt and I wont.

I hear all sorts of rumours about serious side-effects and also I dont think its so imperative that I get one.

The nurse at the school my mum work in says the drugs when you have swine flu they give you makes you hallucinate. But its a special needs school.

I even saw a video of a woman that couldnt walk normally after getting the shot. Not sure about details though.

I'm perfectly fine and I got the shot about a week ago.

Its just many things combined....

• Rumours of side-effects
• A disease that is exaggerated
• I hate shots

etc

:P

MushroomWig

Yeah I already got the first dose.

I did.....

I've never gotten a flu shot. I have the money to keep myself healthy and stuff for my Immune system.
