It is also dangerous because it is a strain of a live virus that can cause underlying illness to come out that may have never surfaced without it. The regular flu shot is still your best option along with washing your hands and being careful around crowded places.
I have reserached it quite a bit...I also have a close family fiend who is a doctor and several nurses in the family. They all reccomend it. Way I see it is heaven forbid one of your children contracted it and got very ill or worse, even died. How would I handle the guilt of knowing I could have done SOMETHING that may have prevented it...yet I did nothing. And for the record...they have said nothing about the strain mutating beyond the realm of the vaccination. And ALL flu shots including H1N1 are created from DEAD flu virus..otherwise they wuld literally be infecting everyone who gets it. Your body creates it's own antibodies based on the blueprint within the dead cells. YOU should do some research.It's really not the conspiracy that everyone seems to want to believe.
