I used to have a slight fever after I took the shot.
I didn't take last year and came out fine.
this year, most of our co-workers don't want the shot, even we are covered by our employer.作者: kaimui22 時間: 2009-10-26 23:03
It states in the article that Canada rushed to approve the H1N1 vaccine based on a
" study involved 130 healthy adults, aged 18 to 60, who were inoculated with the same version of Canada's vaccine, which is produced by GlaxoSmithKline under the trade name Arepanrix. The vaccine used in the Belgian study was manufactured by GSK in Germany. Canada's vaccine is produced in Ste-Foy, Que."
I personally do not think a study of 130 adults in Belgium warrants enough evidence that the vaccine will be safe for us Canadians of ALL ages. They're pushing this vaccine out to INFANTS (6 months+) and pregnant women...but the study was mainly only tested on healthy adults! Like some other forums have said...this vaccine that is being pushed out now will end up having Canadians as lab rats. And...we might see the side effects in a couple weeks.
I think they're pushing out the vaccine without sufficient testing..作者: cremedelacreme 時間: 2009-10-30 22:26
I had make an appointment for the H1N1 shot next Tuesday. Although I'm a little worry as well, but I guess at this present moment, its probably better to get the shot to immune myself first. For the past years, I've always choose to skip the normal flu shot, but since the H1N1 virus is getting more n more serious now, and I never used to be sick for a duration of so long (This time I'd been sick on and off for almost a month), and also doctor said people with asthma and people with respiratory problems, their chances of having pneumonia complications from H1N1 is much higher, and it can cause death very quickly, so that's why I got so scare (reason being I had always have asthma) so that's why I came up with the decision of getting the H1N1 shot. Hopefully it will all turn out well for everyone作者: p51dray 時間: 2009-10-31 01:05
The idea that the vaccine hasn't been tested enough is simply not true. The reality is that the h1n1 vaccine is essentially the same as any other flu vaccine but with a different antigen, plus an adjuvant because of the lack of time to produce sufficient antigen for the amount of dosage needed.
