Just curious since there will be vaccine availble supposedly in Sept for Swine Flu but not fully tested are you planning to get the shots two so far required plus regular? I've decided none for me as in the 70's got the one that caused all the bad stuff and 30 deaths so I would be well as had two small children at the time. And no one got the flu. Glad I was young early 20's at the time. Just curious. I hear in China or Japan they are wearing masks and my neighbor had to wear one in the pediatricians office with her grandson as supposedly here in Charlotte. Phillipa

I'd get 10 flu shots if I had too.

Yep, like Phil, I would get 10 shots if needed. I don't want to get sick or pass on the flu to anyone else.
The flu shot is safe, otherwise they wouldn't be vaccinating millions of people. I think any risks of the shot are way less than that of getting the flu.

Everytime I get a flu shot get the flu a few months later when I don't I don't get the flu. I think I'm passing on this one. Guillane Barr was a consequece in others in the 70's I was lucky. But the CDC says they don't have time to properly test it and this concerns me. Phillipa

Well, that's certainly one way of looking at it.

Having actually *had* the flu and having my hair hurt and a fever for *seven* days, I'm the first in line to get a flu shot. Seriously, I would not put it past me to knock people out of the way to get it.
And I will get the regular flu shot as soon as it becomes available. Like Phil, I would take 10 of these.
As to the "swine" flu. I do plan to wait a couple of months after its introduction prior to accepting it. IMO, it was a little hurried to market, and although I am sure all due dilligence was paid, I want to see how others react to it.
Selfish perhaps. Prudent, I think definately.

I had the flu twice this past 12 month period. (Yes, the real fr*ggin' flu.) I am getting a flu shot, and probably, if allowed, the swine flu shot. I want my 6 year old son to get it. Phillipa, what was this about people dying in the '70's?
an anxious fb--not sure what to do....

Some ended up with Guilliane Barr Syndrome. But recovered. Took a while though. I think that somehow being around the seriously ill for so many years build up my resistance. I just don't ger the flu or stomach viruses. Phillipa
