I was prepare...Hope you're feeling better soon. I was prepared to get the shot,though not for myself as I am really healthy and hardly ever get sick even though, like you, I am constantly coughed, sneezed and snotted on by my 2-8 year old daycare kids. However, because I am at low risk. I probably won't be able to get mine for quite some time and I am starting to rethink getting it. While most of my under 5 kids have had theirs, some have chosen not to get it for their kids and half my older kids are not going to get done...unless their parents change their minds when their turn comes. So should I still get a shot even though parents are choosing not to get their own child inoculated...even though they are eligible now for the shot...By the time my turn come I think the worst would be over anyway.Marisa @ Getting Back To Basicshttp://marjean-gettingbacktobasics.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-15443150868837597792009-11-04T13:02:01.598-04:002009-11-04T13:02:01.598-04:00You are SO brave for over coming your fear of need...You are SO brave for over coming your fear of needles and getting the vaccine. Smart girl! I have been struggling with this myself too. I should get H1N1 vaccine, my sister has already been infected (shes a nurse) but I am not 100% sure about the vaccine yet... Yup, its the new hot debate right?<br /><br />You certainly have provided a wealth of information here and I'm sure we are all very greatful for that!! <br /><br />Good health, and many blessings,<br />Bret =)This Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023312580768741134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-23345286250989476492009-11-03T11:24:56.563-04:002009-11-03T11:24:56.563-04:00First, I LOVE the blog banner.

They've set up flu shot clinics, but they've been totally overwhelmed, and the government is now asking that only people who are at a higher risk (children, pregnant women) get the vaccine. Even so, a colleague of mine had to wait five hours outdoors in the rain Saturday morning to get her 18 month old daughter vaccinated. It's nuts.Annabelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05343752411032947479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-89400972921962550862009-11-02T19:33:13.456-04:002009-11-02T19:33:13.456-04:00There seem to be so many variables that go into be...There seem to be so many variables that go into being sick I just do not think or concern myself with it.<br /><br />As a viewpoint... maybe it is not the truth... I see sickness as a great thing that it is ridding my body of weakness... so as long as it does not kill me I feel like I am stronger and more the person I am supposed to be... but again a viewpoint that may not be close to the truth. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing all of this.Tom Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694425811308686944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-13524111539087309062009-11-02T11:44:57.207-04:002009-11-02T11:44:57.207-04:00this is really interesting, I live in Montreal..an...this is really interesting, I live in Montreal..and would like to get my 5 year and my one year old vaccinated but I am very skeptical.. thanks for the infoPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879409283839201614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-81272537792195369062009-11-02T09:23:37.760-04:002009-11-02T09:23:37.760-04:00I hope you feel better soon!

I'm too old to get the vaccine, so I'm just crossing my fingers and taking my vitamins. Funny: a bar I pass on my way to work is offering "H1N1 shots" for $6. I really want to try one!Vegan Burnouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647418989761380056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-35352255783716054642009-11-02T06:58:23.035-04:002009-11-02T06:58:23.035-04:00Rose: thank you!

G...Rose: thank you! I thought I was being brave :)<br /><br />Greenspell: I agree- the government is making a HUGE deal about it here too. blegh. However, after the hours and hours of waiting and craze and crowds, they have JUST decided on Friday to only offer the vaccination to high risk individuals, and the rest of the population will get it "later". so- perhaps they are regretting the hype?<br /><br />Dr. Jay: I KNOOOWW!!!! ugh. I can't believe it either.<br />I got a tetanus shot once- for opening the bar fridge door on my face... lol. oh the tales of a former bartender.<br />also- this vaccine totally still makes my arm hurt, and we're on day four. it sucks.Eco Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693080137196812405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-65120836250838149452009-11-02T01:04:54.172-04:002009-11-02T01:04:54.172-04:00Gawd...I can't belieeeeve you're blogging ...Gawd...I can't belieeeeve you're blogging on this topic...<br /><br />All I know is I had some kind of flu just at the time the big swine flu (that's what it was called then) scare happened in the spring...and it really wasn't bad enough to bother going to the doctor's, making it basically fit the description of the version of swine flu that affected a bunch of schoolkids in NY right around that time. So, given that and the fact that I'm still far, far more likely to die in a car accident, or from one of a whole bunch of other diseases, than from H1N1, I'm not too worried...though, should I happen to go the doctor's for some other reason and, as tends to happen this time of year, he asks if I want a flu shot, I'll probably take it...and I'm sure it'll be a lot more pleasant than those damn tetanus shots that make my arm hurt for days...which serves me right, I guess, for walking around barefoot in cow pastures...YogaforCynicshttp://yogaforcynics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-51271333384776286882009-11-02T00:44:13.645-04:002009-11-02T00:44:13.645-04:00I'm so glad to have read what you and Alex hav...I'm so glad to have read what you and Alex have written about this subject. As you know, I wanted to talk about it, too - the paranoia, etc. <br /><br />It sounds like you and I have the same work environment - CONSTANT discussion about this! More like, constant stats, constant fears, etc. The things I hear everyday frustrate me to no end!<br /><br />Oh, I'm so tempted to talk about it right now! I'm holding back, though.<br /><br />Anyway, it seems like you made a wise choice based on your circumstances. I don't think H1N1 OR the vaccine are THAT big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, so it bugs me that the government is making such a hoopla about it. Not that there aren't some very serious issues to consider here, and not to say that there isn't a danger, of course. But the constant fearful thinking and fearful speaking makes me feel that we are just making it worse, and making ourselves more vulnerable! <br /><br />BTW, I often fall ill at this time of year - usually colds. Stress is a killer for me. Every time I experience intense stress, I am sick within 24 hours. No fail. Ironically, I workout every day, eat SUPER healthily, and make sure to ingest about a million superfoods every day, ha ha. Meanwhile, Brian eats processed foods and sugar at every meal, more soda than water, never works out...and he never gets sick.
