Instinct
I've had several conversations lately about whether of not I am going to get my kids the swine flu shot. My gut instinct says no. It hasn't been tested on kids and I don't know the lasting effects of the vaccine. It seems like less people have died from the swine flu then from the seasonal flu. I don't see why it is such a big deal. I know I am not a medically educated person, nor do I have all the facts. I just don't like the idea of putting stuff into my kids when I don't really know the side effects. Its funny because I don't have any problems with all the other vaccines. My kids get all their shots. There is just something in my gut saying NO to the swine flu shot. I don't want to be irresponsible, and not get them vaccinated if they really do need it, but I also want think there is something to my gut instinct.

I also don't know what to think of the vaccine, but on the Today show they said that kids under 2 shouldn't get the shot and all parents or people who interact with kids should get it. Does that make you feel better? That YOU have to get it instead of your kids? ha ha
