Are you going to get the swine flu vaccine?

I'm not. It's been proven that the swine flu isn't any worse than the regular seasonal flu.

What about you?

    Probably not, because it seem any worse than reg. flu, I don't have any health problems that would make the flu worse for me, and lastly-I remember when I was really little, my Grandfather got a swine flu vaccine for a scare(I believe way back in the 70's) and he had a weird reaction including raised red patches that started at the injection site and spread to all his upper body(except hands and face). His doctor said it had to be from vaccine. He had those blotches for the rest of his life-it was really strange...

    On top of the fact that it hasn't been proven swine flu is worse than the reg. flu... The shot is also relatively new and the side effects haven't been worked out yet. I'm not taking it.

    No, because the swine flu doesn't seem worse than reg. flu, and the vaccine is too new to find out if there is any bad side effects.

    I'm not taking it. I had the flu three times in my life and I bounce right back. People are highly encouraged to take the H1N1 vaccine and I personally think this hype is a little TOO MUCH which makes me suspicious... what could possibly be in the vaccine?

    no for a few reasons. i think ive had the flu like 2 times in my life. im gonna save the vaccine for the people who really need it. im young and healthy enough that if i get it, i should be able to get over it pretty quickly.

    dont be ignorant, just take the vaccine. what can you lose? You have a greater chance of getting the swine flu than getting sick of side effects of vaccine!!!!!

    No. More people die from regular flu than swine flu.

    No. It takes years to perfect a vaccine and to know all the side effects and stuff and they just made this one in the last few months.

    No. It's too recently released for me to trust it, there haven't been enough tests done on it for me to even consider it.

    Plus, I would rather just get the darn flu, I'll be fine.
