Hello All

Very simple i just wanted to know without having to justify or explain your answer will you or your children be having the swine flu vaccine.

If we are offered it she will get it. so Yes

Probably yes.

I have not been able to make up my mind but a the dd of a friend of mine is struggling so hard to breathe now with swine flu. It's dreadful so I have decided to get dd vaccinated tomorrow. I am still not really happy about it, but had to make some kind of a decision.

No. Not me, not her.

Yes. Not happy particularly, but I cannot take the risk with my d.s.

no

no
-I require more safety assurance before deciding otherwise

DD and I both had the vaccination this morning. I'm still not sure it was the right thing to do...

no

I don't think ds, 5, will be eligble. I an undecided about dd 18 months, very worrying. Coming around to the idea of me having it first as asthmatic, but even my reaction won't really tell me much about how she will react, being so small.

Yes, DD 19 months had it (and seasonal flu) last Saturday. She had slight temp yesterday, but has otherwise been fine.

I live in wales and they have now said that they will be trying to vaccinate all children over the age of 6 months I have 2DD'S one of school age.............but im way to scare to vaccinate!!

what I am finding worst about this swine flu is the uncertainty, just not knowing what is the right thing to do.

Yes, we have all had it.

Not sure to be honest so still undecided. I have a 4yr old and a 2.5 yr old so both eligable.

I had myself vaccinated as I'm PG. If I wasn't PG then I wouldn't have worried about it. None of my children have any health issues so their situation is different so I'm not sure I need to worry about them.

Just not sure!

No. DD's are 2 and 3 and I can make appts for them now but am not going to.

My son has already been vaccinated last week.

He's asthmatic, so swine flu could be horrendous for him. Much worse than a jab anyhow!

Yes.

I had mine today and am 21 weeks pregnant.

IMO the very real risks from complications of swine flu have bigger odds than the maybe risk of the vaccination.

No, have turned down the offer, main concern being that the virus can (prob will) mutate fairly soon, which will leave vaccine useless. Also concerned about future side effects...not been tested long enough for me. Just hoping I havent made wrong decision.

no.

what cheerycherry said- no but with some reservations about deciding no

No, same as CheeryCherry and nowwearefour.

No.....worried about side effects.

No, as a rule my DD is pretty healthy and has no underlying health problems.So if she did get Swine Flu, chances are she'd come out of it pretty unscathed as apposed to having the jab and the side affects being alot worse.
