Tickle,

They have already started the ordering of flu shots. Maybe not for adults, but my youngest(5) has to get a flu shot every 6 months by our NJ health regulations. They are forcing immunizations on people little by little. I refuse to do the H1N1 shot and also won't allow them to give it to my children.

This whole system has become nothing but a joke.

tick, we live in a different world - Canada. :)
My kids got the H1N1 shot (voluntarily of course) and they seem to be still living. I laugh at thode that think the government is out to kill them... but then I don't live in the US where the cult of fear is the prime directive.

I don't think it will kill them, I've just seen too many cases in the U.S, NJ especially where the nurses foul up the injection. My 5 year old doesn't take shots well, and to add to the discomfort by them fouling it up is not wise on my part.

Also, I work in a school and when we had the H1N1 shot done here, we had several kids go home with symptoms of reactions to it but I don't think they are out to kill us. They just rushed the vaccine in my opinion

Didn't we get the same vaccine ?

That I am not sure of, I know that our state had theirs recalled fairly quickly due to "known concerns" but they wouldn't elaborate

I got both with no ill effects; had to have them because I am in healthcare visiting clients. My son and husband didn't get them and at different times got violently ill with flu symptoms diahhrea and vomitting for 24 hours.

I am fine, I got the flu shots.

The known concerns I'm aware of were some of the doses for children were a little weak. They weren't harmful, just weak, and that would be taken care of with the recommended second shot for children.

The wife and I received both with no ill effects. The reasons some may get ill are allergy to eggs, running a fever, or possibly taking the live virus... or it's all in their head. If it was like when I received mine, I was asked about 13 times if I'd ever had a reaction to a seasonal flu shot, if I were allergic to eggs or had a fever, so if anyone fell in those categories it was their own fault for taking the shot that day.
