I am a writer for the national news service HealthDay (www.healthday.com). HealthDay stories appear in newspapers and on reputable web sites on the Internet.

I am working on a piece examining moms' attitudes and beliefs about having their kids get a seasonal flu and/or H1N1 (swine flu) shot.

I see that many moms are skeptical, but why? Do you believe it's better for kids to risk having the flu? Are you concerned about pharmaceutical company motivations? Are you skipping the shots because you've never had them yourself?

If you have a strong point of view, I would love to speak with you. Please contact me today at: [email protected]

Thanks!
