H1N1 flu shots
The H1N1 Vaccine has a 70-90% chance of success without side-effects. I have gotten a vaccine for H1N1 and nothing happened, but everybody has a different body and have different effects on vaccines. There are two different kinds of shots one is the one you get on your arm, and the other is the nasal spray. But there are people who should not get vaccinated without talking to physician. These people who should not get vaccinated include people who are allergic to chicken eggs, people who already have been diagnosed with the H1N1 virus, people who have severe reactions to Influenza vaccinations, people who have developed Guillain-Barre syndrome within 6 weeks of getting an influenza vaccine previously, 6 month year old children and younger, and people with a moderate to severe fever but they can get vaccinated after recovery. The Side-effects of the arm flu shot is soreness redness or swelling of where the shot was given, low grade fever, and aches. The side-effects of the nasal shot is runny nose, wheezing, headache, vomiting, muscle aches, and fever. For adults that get the nasal shot their side-effects are runny nose, headache, sore throat, and cough. In my opinion vaccinations are worth the risk, but if you are one of the people that get side-effects from the shots then do not get vaccinated.
