Swine Flu Shot Still Necessary

Getting a swine flu shot is still necessary. Even though you may not have heard about H1N1 in the news recently or know someone who has it, there is still a threat of getting Swine Flu. The vaccines are out there and are free. There’s no more waiting in line or seeing if you qualify for the vaccine.
For those of us with chronic illness, preventing H1N1 is paramount. Fighting off this virus has been difficult for some healthy people and there have been deaths from it. Since we already have health problems, there’s no need to put ourselves in the position of getting seriously ill.
Call your local health department. You’ll be surprised that there are plenty of Swine Flu vaccines to go around. Take advantage of the free shot. I have a compromised immune system, had the vaccine and had no side effects at all. Same for my husband and 11 year old daughter.
Please consider your health and the health of those around you. The Swine Flu Vaccine is still necessary.

I have to admit that I’m one of those folks who absolutely refused to get the H1N1 shot, and my wife was ready to lose her job rather than getting this shot.
I acknowledge that there are lots of people who are in the group where it makes sense, but I didn’t like some of the heavy handed tactics some of these groups tried in getting us to take the shot. And the fact that the government said they would absolve the company making it of any liability bothered me as well.

I think that at this point it’s an option rather than a necessity. I also think that The Swine Flu Vaccine is still necessary.
