I got the Swine Flu Vaccine yesterday

How were you able to get your shot early? Isn't BC one of the provinces with guidelines on who gets it when? We can't get ours (healthy adults) until the week of December 7th.

Then again, I've never had a flu shot and don't intend on starting now.

One of my close relatives is ill and I need to look after her frequently.

I got mine Tuesday. Nauseated with a horrible headache for two days. My doctor didn't have his shipment in yet, but Walgreens were giving shots for free and seemed to have a plentiful supply...go figure.

Sounds like what happened to me.

I got my regular flu shot. So far has never bothered me other than a little arm soreness the next day.

I'll let the rest of yall beta test the swine flu shot, and I'll just stay away from sick people.

Lots of luck trying to do that. I just read that 40% of the people in New York have already had swine flu. Someone just coughed the wrong way on the subway the other day and it started a big fight with people spitting on each other. At least by next year a lot of people should have some degree of immunity.

The herd has been panic'd. They get a sniffle, and they think they have swine flu.

if there's an upside, it's now that hand sanitizer it showing up everywhere, I've started seeing it in the entrances to several restaurants.

But the data doesn't warrant the panic yet. CDC reports the following for New York.

Suspected Cases: 279
Confirmed/Probable Cases: 7971
Fatal Cases: 73

Atlanta meanwhile has around 200 confirmed cases. I'll take my chances for now.

I don't usually take flu shots though so maybe my reaction had something to do with that.
