Are you getting the N1H1 vaccine?
I think that DS and I will probably get it. DD will only be 4 months old at the time it is available so I'm not sure that I am comfortable with her getting a trial run vaccine at that age. DH probably won't bother either b/c every year that he use to get the regular flu shot, he would get severely sick immediately afterwards.
What are you planning on doing?
Re: Are you getting the N1H1 vaccine?
Probably not. I always get the flu vaccine and will continue to get it this year, but I don't like the idea of getting a vaccine that's really only had a very limited amount of testing - especially being pregnant.
I'm pretty vigilant about handwashing, sanitizer and generally trying to avoid others' germs, so I'll just do my best.
I work in a very large office centre and both my company and the property management company have quite detailed pandemic plans. If I feel at risk, I'll definitely be working from home.
I don't think so. I have never had the flu shot - I have never had the flu for that matter.
With something this new and I'll be with a newborn at the time I just don't want to risk the vaccine making me sick or affecting the LO.
Nope...
Don't get the flu shot either; because the two times my parents made me get the shot I was so sick all winter long.
Absolutely not. I'm not allowed to have any flu vaccines because I had Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
I won't have DD vaccinated b/c it's too new and we don't know of what the negative impact could be. We're going to do a lot of natural prevention methods and keep our immune systems in great shape by seeing the chiro on a regular basis and eating all the right prevention foods.
However, with DH being a teacher, he is considering getting the vaccine, as he doesn't want to bring H1N1 home from school (last year just after DD was born, he brought a flu and 2 colds home).
