Re: Do you plan to give your infant/child the N1H1 vaccine? Do you plan on getting it?
Ds received the regular flu shot and his Ped recommended the H1N1 because Gav had a history of wheezing so he will get that one when it is available.

Just the regular flu shots, not the H1N1. My ped doesn't recommend it at this time.....
Same here - I live in NJ and it's a state mandate that kids over 6 months in daycare receive the regular flu shot so we'll do that.
My ped isn't recommending the H1N1 so I'm not going to do it for anyone in the house. Besides, I'm not comfortable with it for all the reasons stated previously.

DD has gotten a flu shot every year, and will be getting it.
She will also get H1N1 as well. It's made the same way as the regular flu shot is, I really dont' see what all the hub bub is about.

Re: Do you plan to give your infant/child the N1H1 vaccine? Do you plan on getting it?
yes to both. me and DH along with both my parents have gotten the reg. flu shot and we are all getting the H1N1! i have no worries about it to be honest. and i look at it this way. god forbid someone gets H1N1.. my dd doesnt have the immune system to fight it and it could possible result in death. they are no saying there are any sever side effects to the shot so why not get it?. i want to protect her as much as i can, and if that means i need to get a vaccine ill get it. I dont think alot of doctors would recommend getting it and states would mandate it if there was such risks with it... imo.

No. DS got the regular flu shot and the H1N1 wasn't available. I told the ped I wasn't sure what I thought about it and she agreed.
I might change my mind, but for now, I don't see any of us getting it.

No and I a don't want to give DD the regular flu shot, but I'm being forced to as it's mandated by my state if you have a child over 6 months old in daycare. 
Really?!?! You're forced to by law?
Yup... it's state mandate
Wow, where do you live?
it's the law in NJ.
to answer OP - both dave and i got our shots today - Emma will not.
we are NOT getting the H1N1.

The H1N1 shot is not any "newer" than the seasonal flu shot each year. H1N1 is simply another strain of influenza, and had it appeared earlier, it would have been part of the seasonal flu shot. It is in no way similar to the swine flu vaccine of 1976.
ITA - I am 5 months pregnant and diabetic, so I am definitely getting it. I am hoping my DS can get it - if there is any left.

Re: Do you plan to give your infant/child the N1H1 vaccine? Do you plan on getting it?
no and no. I had a "flu" in the spring so I'm pretty sure I already had it ( My family live in Freshmeadows where it all started) I'm also pregnant and who knows the effect it will have on the baby.

Re: Do you plan to give your infant/child the N1H1 vaccine? Do you plan on getting it?
Yes!!! My ped told me that if the Swine Flu came out sooner they would all be combined into one flu shot. I trust my Ped 100% and he is giving it to his children so I will too.
It already has sickened so many children and some are going to die from it. I am not taking that chance. It is going to be worse this time around then last.

DD is getting the regular flu shot only. No H1N1 for her. I spoke with the pediatrician and they are not recommending the H1N1 shot.

Re: Do you plan to give your infant/child the N1H1 vaccine? Do you plan on getting it?
I have to get the flu shot and the H1N1 vaccine when it becomes available as it is mandated by my employer and NYS.
DS is on a waitlist to get the regular flu shot but I am unsure if I will keep the appointment.
DH is not getting any. He has bad reactions to the flu shot.

Re: Do you plan to give your infant/child the N1H1 vaccine? Do you plan on getting it?
All of us will have the flu shot.
DD and myself, no swine shot
DH had to get the swine shot it as it was state mandated thru the health department.

Re: Do you plan to give your infant/child the N1H1 vaccine? Do you plan on getting it?
All of us have already (DD will get hers when she turns 6 months in nov if my ped still has them) gotten the regular flu shot. I'm going back and forth on the H1N1 - I'm leaning towards no - but not 100% yet - my ped tells me I a fool NOT to get it and give it - but my PCP said I was a fool to get it. Of course when questioning my PCP further it doesn't sound like he was too up on the actual vaccine.
I have spoken with a lot of people who are doctors or who have doctors in their families and most are recommending it and saying those who aren't are not up to date and doing their research on the H1N1 so I'm up in the air.
