Spending 28 years as a school teacher caused me to get a flu shot every year. And I've continued since I retired. Never a reaction. I think the last time I had the flu was in college (- had mumps then too.) Since I am now exposed to school age grand children, I hope they get the swine flue vaccine to us quickly.

Look how little testing has been done on the H1N1 (Swine) Flu vaccine and so many people are flocking to get injected with it. My doctor's nurse told me they are volunteer Guinea Pigs!! Don't forget, more people died in 1976 from the Swine Flu shot than did from the Swine Flu itself. Too many shots, IMHO. But, I guess it is a good way to control the perceived overpopulation problem, while doing scientific research.
