Do we really need it?
I should start this blog with a warning: If you can get the flu vaccine (both the seasonal and the Swine) then get it. However, with the recent craze around the vaccines, most doctor's offices and pharmacies have it on back order…for several weeks. With this said, people are beginning to wonder if receiving the vaccine is really necessary.
According to a Newsweek article published in September, many will get the swine flu but only those with high risk of complications will be dramatically affected by the illness. For the rest of us healthy citizens, it's just like any other flu and will pass with proper rest and medication. Still, isn't it better to be safe than sorry?
So what I want to know is: Have you received your flu vaccines? Are you going to? If not, why?
