I finally got it!!!

There is no way with that limited amount of time to say what will happen. But through our research, we thought it was in our and our daughter's best interest to be vaccinated.

Thanks for the reply, and I hope it didn't come off as I was attacking. I'm just frustrated with the amount of media attention it's getting that's all. My girlfriends a registered nurse, so I hear about it every night. And she took the shot, a doctor on her shift really pressured her. It's all good. I'm just worried about it. My best friend is in the same position as you, due date is next month, and he went for the shots... And here I am, no kids, no real worries. Blowing my horn. I'd probably think way differently if children were involved.

I'm no fan of vaccinations, but pregnant women, the people around them, and children 10 and under I wouldn't hesitate. They had the same concerns during the '76 epidemic. I think it was something like 532 people out of 48+ million developed Guillain-Barre syndrome after being vaccinated, and so far no long term effects of any kind have been linked to it. And they still can't directly link G-B with the vaccine as almost the same number developed it without the vaccine.

Not at all Ro. I was merely showing the other side. I do agree that the "panic" the media is spreading is extreme. But if it saves lives, it's worth it.

I had the same thoughts about the swine flu as you at first. But priorities changed for me when my wife became pregnant. If we weren't pregnant, I probably would've never done the research. And I wouldn't have gone out of my way to get the shot. Since you are in the "low-risk" demographic(Just my assumption), it wouldn't be the biggest deal if you skipped it.

Is it really $88 CAD up there? It was only $15 USD in NY. And that's without them accepting my insurance.

Ya, that's funny, cause a $10 cigar is $30 here....
