Not entirely on the point here, but I do have something to add, so bear with me!
I have epilepsy, which was diagnoed in my late teens. After a spell on one tablet, I was placed on another, which happens to be a relatively new drug. New enough that most of the paramedics who pick me up when I have a fit in public have never heard of it. I was told by my neurologist that it was relatively safe to take during pregnancy (some are really not, which is why they try and avoid putting women of childbrearing age on them). When I became pregnant, I had to go through the risks with my neurologist and Epilepsy nurse. At the time I concieved, there were around sixty women on record who had had a pregnancy while on the drug, as part of a study into the risks. Of those, a few had miscarried, but it looked as though that was part of the national average. I was told that it didn't seem like it caused any problems, but the drug was new enough that, as you can see, no huge pattern had emerged.
If I took the medication, I would run the risk of it affecting my baby, although the signs were that it was safe. But if I didn't take it, and had a fit, I could have starved my baby of oxygen in the womb, and either miscarried, damaged him, or died myself. My fits have never been very severe, but they could get worse because of the stress of being pregnant. I chose to take the tablets, and, thank god, my son is a perfectly healthy little boy.
What has this got to do with swine flu? Well, I'm now pregnant again, so it's an issue I have to think about. That vaccine is very new - it has to be, because the disease is new. There hasn't been time yet to test it, and have the detailled results on the leaflet,but people are pregnant now and at risk now. I will do more of my own research, and make a descision that I feel comfortable with, which will most likely involve the vaccination. If I can be part of a survey to help increase medical knowledge of the drug, then so much the better.
These are hard choices, but I don't see the advantage in getting angry at the manufacturers because of circumstances out of their control.
