The H1N1 Vaccine, again

Oct 26, 2009 12:26

I'm hearing some concerns from my friends about the H1N1 vaccine. People don't seem to have all the information about the vaccine, and are trying to make decisions about their health based on hearsay. Not so good. So here are some good sources of information about H1N1 and the vaccine ( Read more... )

This? This is one of the many reasons I love and admire you.

Thank you for that. :-) Unfortunately, I'm in with the [1] crowd.

A friend who was in for the weekend mentioned that this isn't actually the first time it's been around. He mentioned the winter of 76. I had the flu, that winter.. so badly that I literally could NOT get out of bed unless I crawled. I was sick for a week and took about two months to fully recover. I may be immune. :-)

Yah, you're in the very low-risk group.

And since neither you nor Doron became ill you might be as well. But.. don't take the chance. And... thank you for taking such good care of both of us when I was ill. *grin*

That would actually be another one to add to the FAQ -- the H1N1 strain of 1976 is not sufficiently similar to this one to provide any protection.

Thanks - with the new babies and me taking transit and an upcoming train trip to Montreal, i think i've made the decision to go and get this just in case :) You're the best!
