This "swine flu" vaccine is being based on the normal "seasonal flu" vaccine that has been used for years and years, and has undergone lots of testing. They are using that "formula" and just stripping in the specific data for this swine flu.

That makes more sense, and sounds a lot more practical, and much safer.

As for me, I will do whatever my doc advises. I trust her.
Karen, I am not trying to scare anyone...just sharing info for what it is worth. The complaint with this vaccine, from those I have heard in the media, is that there hasn't been enough time for proper testing. I too, trust my doctor. However, they pass out drugs to all of us that their reps bring in (I work for a doctor). Sometimes those drugs get recalled. Remember Bextra? My doctor put me on that briefly and I took it because I trusted him (still do by the way ). The bottom line is that we need to be careful and informed and maybe just ask more questions when it comes to our health.
