Yes, and I hope you had yours too lapandfun? As a Nurse it is your duty. I had mine on Wednesday. For people with medical risk factors, pregnant women and front line health care workers, the vaccine is very important.
I'm afraid there are a lot of people on this forum posting misinformation regarding vaccines and conspiracy theories are rife! I urge you to listen to current medical advice and not exaggerated (and in some cases false), information.
The swine flu vaccine has been produced using the exact same methods and in a similar time scale as the seasonal flu vaccines that we produce each year to tackle the current strain of flu that has evolved. The only difference is the H1N1 component. This vaccine has been tested on hundreds of people in recent months and no serious reactions have occurred.
The H1N1 prototype vaccines have been clinically tested and shown to produce good immune system responses, and have a good safety profile. The insertion of the H1N1 strain into the vaccine should not affect the safety of the vaccine, the same as the annual modifications to the seasonal flu vaccine do not compromise safety. There is no reason why this vaccine should be unsafe.
Nothing in medicine is 100% but the benefits outweigh the rare risks. |

I had the vaccine a week ago and bar a little local soreness and a mild headache that lasted a few hours I have been fine. I note there was another Scottish death today I am sad to say. |

No - I'm too old!
It won't be offered to people over 60. |

You may be right

NO, how many times do I have to tell all of you
This whole thing is a money making thing, if not, then why don't they show they care about peoples lives and make this a non profit thing, help the people and get your pay check, but no billion dollar bonuses for the few old people sitting around a table at the top office in the building. |

No, I was around in 1957 and 1977 when the swine flu circled the globe so I think I'm good to go on that one. |
