Why are you having second thoughts?

I had mine a while ago and apart from a bit of a sore arm for a couple of days I was ok, It's got to be better than actually getting Swine flu, that's my opinion anyway.

Had mine a few weeks ago and apart from the urge to go snouting for truffles I've been ok.(only joking)I've been fine.

Had mine done some time back, slight sore arm & neck afterwards, otherwise ok....and i still love Bacon!

Best Regards - Taggy

I will refuse mine if offered and my 4 year old has not had hers when it was offered. In my opinion I do not want my self or more importantly my children to be part of what can only be classed as the testing phase of a new vaccine.

I will wait for the side effects to become known before I give it to my family.

Why do you want it anyway?

Swine flu was a very expensive mistake by the Government. They cost the tax payer and companies milions if not billions preparing for it and allowing people to claim they had if without diagnosis by a Doctor. Even the NHS swine flu phone line has been shut down.

Exactly why i wouldnt have it.

They appear to have stopped giving it in France, possibly because it proved to be not even an epidemic, never mind a pandemic. I am sure I read in UK Newspaper somewhere that the drug companies had made a £4 billion windfall out of it all.

i was sent a letter from the dr saying i should, grace got one as well and i'm not sure whether i want her having it either..

accyman · 16-02-2010, 15:59

although fox news plenty of other people have come forward saying its dangerous

not paranoid or anything but when enough people advise against it i pay attention but i read somewhere that teh vaccine has killed more people than the actual swinflu its self

I am sure you could wait while you decide and have it in a few weeks if you decide you want to.

Don't rush into it, take some time to think about it.

I have received letters for the boys offering the vaccine but they are not having it done. In my opinion it hasnt received enough testing, has been rushed out and there is no way I am allowing my kids to be used as "guinea-pigs" as any real side effects are not yet known and may not be for a couple of years yet.

if put it off for long enough then i wont be eligable anymore and dont have to decide

but grace and baby will, which doesnt help me...

its not really about now is it? at least not as much as it was before and i dont believe it was as bad as they said..
