Thank you Pinky Makus for the link! It �s very useful! I have decided NOT to take the vaccine, or the ask it for my children. There haven �t been cases of the swine flu in our town yet, but there have been over 160 in Serbia. Some doctors say we �ll all get it eventually, sooner or later. It �s really difficult to decide what to do.

Happening in Croatia, too... Frankly, I hate panic-spreading in order to test some new medicine. Most of my sts now stay home at their first sneeze and so much unneccesary panic is happening. |

I am not getting it either and for the same reason as Anita. The vaccine was rushed through and they consider it to be "safe". A lot of side effects don �t appear until years later - and mostly the dangerous ones.
Also, my doctor said it wasn �t necessary and that people are just panicking. Students are sent home if they are sick and so far there aren �t any big problems here with this flu.

I got my regular flu vaccine about a month ago. But I haven �t had my daughter vaccinated as she has never had flu (she �s nine) and I�m afraid if I gave her the shot it could harm her. As for H1N1 vaccine - our government haven �t got enough of them so there is a list of people who are supposed to get it: doctors, nurses, politics. But I don �t care as I am not sure it is safe. Last week I talk to my doctor and she told me she is not going to get it too because she doesn�t want it and people just panic. There die much more people of ordinary flu than of its mutations. Let �s hope we all stay clear and healthy. MJ

They have made it mandatory for hospital staff to get the shots, and if they do not, they get fired. |

Wow, that �s pretty tough. Especially when the research wasn �t exactly proper. There are some studies saying it can be harmful:o(
