H1N1 Flu Shot Poll

I got the shot a couple days ago b/c I work in healthcare and I happen to be working at a a children's hospital for the time being. Specifically, I'm a physician.Interestingly enough, I've never received the seasonal flu shot and don't intend any time soon. My wife asked me to get the shot so I don't bring the H1N1 home with me. There are a lot of misconceptions on this topic. First of all, vaccines are the single greatest advancement in medicine, period. Will the swine flu kill you? Most likely no chance. The only reason I say most likely is because nothing in medicine is 100% and obviously people have died from it. It is simply another strain of the flu. It is just a pandemic now and is worrying a lot of people. I say if you are young and healthy, I wouldn't worry about it. However, if you have an underlying medical condition (diabetes, heart problem, lung issues) you probably should get it to prevent worsening of your pre-existing condition in a sickened state. By the way, I did not experience any adverse affects from the shot other than my arm was sore for a couple hours. This is due to the fact that 2cc of liquid was injected directly into my deltoid.

 

Based on this info, if I said I have asthma (more specifically RDS), would you recommend me getting it?

 

shit no I'm not getting that shitass swine flu injected into me.

 

I won't get the H1N1 or the regular flu shot. I dont believe in em.
I dont use antibacterial soap either. I think having so much antibacterial stuff is creating all this, and not letteing our bodies fight it off. Of coarse that all goes to shit if I die from getting the H1N1, then I geuss I should have gotten it.

 

It's not about us guys it's about our kids get the shot!!!!

 

I will be getting the Regular Flu Mist.. because The military makes it manditory

 

I've known 3 people that got Swine and they were all less severe than the regular flu.

 

not me! i had that shizzz about 6 months ago...i work in schools so when the first big scare down here in houston there was a school that was closed down about 3 days after i had worked in it due to 7 kids getting it...needless to say next week i was sick as a dog...

that sh*t sucks though

 

My father got this shot in the Air Force and says it was the sickest hes ever been in his life. The military got and still gets alot of shot that are "SAFE and TESTED".

 

nope, already had swine flu...that shit is weak

 

no thanks, not for me

 

DONT GET IT!... its the modern day real life T-VIRUS! get ready for zombies!

 

Nope.

 

Got our shots today. Everything went very well. It was busy and took 3 hours!

My wife has a cold so she has to wait two weeks.

Cheers.

 

I got it last week. Only side effect I noticed was penis enlargement. Seriously, though, no complications.

 

Shit Miikey I thought so - I'm supposed to be getting it soon, they are checking and making sure everyone has received the T virus primer (aka seasonal flu vaccine) - What do I do!?! I dont wantzz to be zombiefied!!!

 

He's mutating..put him in the zombie porn star program.

 

Got it today, and contrary to popular belief, I'm not walking funny nor do I have any rare diseases.

The vaccine (shot) is a dead form of the virus. It's not the full out virus, nor will it give you the full on virus. It helps your immune system get used to the thing and prevents you from getting the worst of the worst. I don't know how everybody suddenly because experts on this vaccine and how it works, let alone how long it was tested and what it has in it...

 

im not gonna get it. my school has already had 85% outbreak of the shit. its dropping kids like flies for l ike a week outta school. plus im on a college campus.

 

nope
