There’s a good controversy nowadays and many heated views whether you aren’t for the actual ##keyword## . When you understand it? Exactly what aspects should you look at prior to making your decision? The goal of this post is to be able to think about the advantages, downsides and also options you’ve got.

I think I’m going to go for it. I just have to figure out when and where!

the risk of an adverse effect is higher than the risk of death with the flu.

Well I should have received my vaccine week before last but ironically I got ill! I am now waiting for them to receive the shots at my office but if they don’t come through before 12/12, I will be visiting an elementary school in my neighborhood for the city provided vaccinations. I can’t say that I don’t have any hesitations about it but being that my endo told me that I’m getting it one way or the other, I think that sits well in my mind as a valid reason for getting it.

Yeah, I work for a medical center and they have the vaccine for all employees. They even called me to say that since I am T1 that I am on the priority list. But I still haven’t gone to get it. I got the regular flu vaccine a few weeks back and it got really sick after-wards. I missed 3 days of work and probably should have stayed home longer. So, I have mixed feelings about getting the H1N1. My doctor says I should get it, so we’ll see. I still have the option if I want to. Let us know what you decide!!!

Venus and I had a suicide pact that we would both get the shot together. Although she now blames me (I wouldn’t have it any other way )I would like to point out that it was the nurse in the recovery room at the school who persuaded her!

I talked to one of my brothers who runs an ICU and was told I was insane to even think about not getting it. His parting comment was that they thought they probably had enough ventilators to cope when it hits.

Although GBS is a risk if you get any flu the risk is eight times higher than from the shot.

Lol, I was one of the people Venus asked for their opinion. I told her and still stand by my opinion of I will get it. I really feel the risk of side effect is worth protecting myself against the actual H1N1 Virus. Besides, the side effects are worst case scenario, not common. I am not saying it’s not a big deal, because it is. I am just to afraid not to get it.
