I have to get the vaccine, which I have been more or less against since it came out
but if I do not get it I will have to wear a mask to access certain facilities.....
leaves me with a debate, get the shot or wear a mask?
your thoughts

Someone posted in AET last week, instead of this page. It's a small sample of people, but one had a seizure!
thanks for the link, it is weird the way different bodies react to the shot
I would probably be more likely to have adverse side affects since I never get vaccinated, never even had the seasonal flue vaccine and only had the flue server once
Until this year, I had never been vaccinated against anything except for the required shots to get into elementary school. I've only had the flu once that I recall (last year). I got both the seasonal and H1N1 vaccines this year and haven't had any trouble. I've never heard the logic that you're more likely to have adverse side effects if you never get vaccinated.
What kind of job do you have that would require you to wear a mask anyway? (I wouldn't call that being "forced" to get vaccinated, by the way.)
If you're interested in side effects reported by a larger community than just the people in that thread, here's the latest report of the national Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS):
http://vaers.hhs.gov/resources/2009H1N1Summary_Nov25.pdf
The likeliness of having worst side affect was just my assumption
Yes I agree that I am being forced, which is why I hesitate... it is no longer my choice
I work for an agency that goes into the county jail to work with inmates, the county is starting a new policy,
no vaccine=mask worn inside the jail
No, I meant that I DISagree that you are being forced. You have a choice, and it's not even a choice between getting vaccinated and losing your job.
Basically they are saying that everyone has to wear a mask when they're in the jail, and you can be exempt if you've been vaccinated. Seems perfectly reasonable to me. If you don't want to be vaccinated, just wear a mask.
I don't think that's any different than requiring that food handlers wear hair nets, but can be exempt if they have no hair, for instance. You'd never find a school cafeteria lady arguing that she's being FORCED to shave her head.
however it is hard to compare getting your head shaved to getting some unknown substance injected into your body
not trying to debate, and yes I suppose that I have a choice
Depends on how attached you are to your hair.
My thoughts? Your job isn't forcing you to get the H1N1 vaccination as your originally claimed.
If you don't want the shot, wear the mask when in certain facilities.
They have a legitimate concern. You have a legitimate concern. The mask, while mildly inconvenient, is a perfect compromise.

I'll make sure and send a nice arrangement to your funeral. In the meantime, may I kindly suggest that you avoid contact with all people and that you never have children.

In my area, many of the schools are operating at half capacity.
I don't see why you have issues with this.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
That is funny becuase we had a baby a month ago and while in the hospital for 3 days my wife and I both refused the H1N1 vaccine multiple times to several different doctors. It is a tough decision and many people try to make you feel as guilty as possible.
Our thoughts are that we can change are mind at anytime.
Changing your minds after the fact won't prevent your baby from getting the flu.
except my left arm fell off, i pissed my pants, stubbed my big toe, and forgot my username and password so i could not chronicle these complications as they were unfolding.....
seriously tho, i am completely fine...
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Don't forget to complete the post-vaccine survey I posted in another thread!
See what I mean, people try to make you feel guilty with stupid comments, thanks for proving my point :roll:
Obviously I am not going to run out and get the vaccine after the fact, but why is to say that I wake up in the morning and decide to do it
Thanks for contributing nothing to the conversation.....
Haha... I had a feeling you were going to say something like that.
My point is, it's completely irrelevant that you can change your mind at any time. Having the ability to change your mind does absolutely nothing to protect your newborn. And having a newborn adds a new dimention to the issue.
Do you think you are unlikely to get the flu? Or that, even if you or baby got it, it wouldn't be that serious? Or that even if it was serious, it could be easily cured? Or that whatever will be will be? Or that the vaccine doesn't work anyway? Or that the risks of the vaccine outweigh the risks of the flu for you, your child, & the people with whom you come into contact? Or that you don't want to get the shot based on some kind religious principle? Or that you don't want to get it based on principle because you feel pressured to get it? Or what?
was this directed at me??
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
I'm pretty sure it was directed at me.
They were able to approve it so quickly because it's not a new drug. It's just another strain change to the same old flu shot, just like is done every year when they see what strains are circulating. The only reason this is given separately is because they didn't know about it in time to adjust the seasonal flu shot for it.
Also, no one is claiming it's an instant cure-all vaccine.

You do realize that vaccines don't work that way, don't you? I mean, since you work in a research lab and all. The method of action for vaccines is scientifically well understood and has been for many, many years. So there's a bit of a difference between approval of a vaccine for a new flu strain and the years of testing that needs to happen before the FDA can approve a new drug.
