Tomorrow I'm planning to get the vaccination for H1N1 (aka Swine Flu), should i be afraid of getting sick from this? I know that sounded ridiculous but I heard you get sick from the flu shot, which I've never had before. Tell me what you know please :) :)
Thankyou

Vaccines have been around since Jenner invented smallpox vaccine in the 1700s. They are very safe.
H1N1 vaccine contains a very small amount of killed virus. It allows your body to make antibodies to H1N1 without getting the actual disease. The benefits of this outweigh the risks.
Killed virus vaccines do not make you sick. You might get a mild fever for about one day, and a sore arm. You can take some Tylenol or Ibuprofin for the fever and sore arm, and put a cool wet facecloth on your arm if it is sore.
Best wishes.

The vaccine is designed so you get sick, it has a live flu virus in it. People are so brainwashed that they think this is good, because the body will be able to fight off this "weakened" virus. But newsflash: the doctor does not prescribe a specific vaccine for you, there is one generic vaccine that everyone is going to be taking, how do you know the weakened virus is weak enough for you? Plus the shots have mercury in it that cause brain disorders. Do whatever you want, I'm not going to sit here and tell you to take the vaccine, all I can say is they would have to forcibly inject me with that before I ever take it. I also got the swine flu regularly and got over it in a day. So there is really no point to take the vaccine once you already got it.

yes the vaccination has the swine flu virus in it but only a small dose, most vaccinations come in lots of three or every few years, this is so that your body will fight it off each time and you will slowly build up your immunity to the virus. :)
I'm not that helpful
I thought the shots Gave you a small portion of it or something, So your body could fight it off. Maybe to Develop an Immunity to it or something.

The shot does not make you sick. Their are side effects from shots. Usually people who get sick after getting a shot were already sick before they got it..so they think it was from the shot.
