Anyone has a child with Swine Flu?

I dont know what to do re the jab. I have looked into it and there are arguments for and against. My friend is a teacher and she said she has had loads with it and they are just off for a short while and its just like normal flu...

Can anyone share any experiences?

Its not the effects of the jab but the long term im worried about.

Thanks

I have decided against even though I am all for immunisations.

My reasoning is that I have 2 healthy dd's aged 3 and 2 and hopefully if they caught it they would fight it off with their own immune system plus medication. If they had underlying health issues then I would probably take it.

I am also concerned with the long term effects as I am unsure for how long and how it has been tested.

This is my personal choice (and its been a hard one) but I am sure people will be along to tell you their reasons for choosing to take it.

The only worry i have is that you may not know if your child has an underlying health condidition until its too late. This is a nightmare isnt it?!
