To me, I don't think it's at all hard to decide. Get this past Sunday's Washington Post from the library if you don't have it already and look on the front page. H1N1 is already fatal to children at a higher rate than seasonal flu, and that does not just include children with underlying health issues - the article says that about 20 to 30 percent of child fatalities so far are children who had NO underlying health problems. Yes, the actual numbers aren't huge, but compared to what one would expect with seasonal flu, this rate of child deaths is a big concern and children appear to have zero natural immunity to this strain of flu.
Also, pregnant women are being hospitalized with H1N1 at higher rates than is normal with seasonal flu. That's not in the latest article but has been reported and you can check www.cdc.gov to find that pregnant women are high priority for vaccination.
Finally, this vaccine is made in exactly the same way as the seasonal flu shots that have been used very safely for decades now -- the shot is prepared and preserved and the virus for it developed the same way, so this is not, as some Internet rumors insist, some mysterious new shot. The only difference is the actual strain of virus that had to be determined and cultured to put into the vaccine. And nope, it does not contain "mercury" or to use its proper name, thimerosol preservative. That's been out of vaccines for quite some time now.
I just hope I can manage to get my daughter her H1N1 shots. Our pediatrican keeps saying "we're on the list but don't know when or if we'll get it," so now I'm trying the county health department. Call your pediatrician today if you want your child to have a shot because who knows if your peds. are even on the list to get it. I have friends whose peds. did not even get on the distribution list and the friends are now hunting for shots for their kids. And be sure you and your daughter and husband ALL get seasonal flu shots too -- these are separate from and in addition to the H1N1 or swine flu shots!
