The Dark Side of the H1N1 Vaccination

H1N1 is sweeping the nation and it scares us, but is it too new to trust the vaccination?
Pregnant women are one of the highest priority groups to get the vaccine yet medical officials are saying that it’s not safe for children under six months of age. That doesn’t make much sense considering the woman is obviously carrying a baby under six months of age. Though they try to make it safer by reducing the mercury count in the vaccinations they give to pregnant women, reports of miscarriages after getting vaccinated for the H1N1 virus were reported all over the nation.
Many parents are arguing against getting their child the vaccination as it is too new and there hasn’t been much research put into it. They’re not worried about their children obtaining swine flu, unless they already have another chronic illness, considering it is easily treatable using common sense and doctor’s aid if necessary.
The shot could be safe, or it could not be. But it’s for you to decide; do the risks outweigh the benefits? Would you risk future effects to get rid of flu-like symptoms in the present-time?
