Phonecall from doctors!

Jade2933 · Oct 30th, 2009, 12:09 PM

I have just recieved a phonecall from my doctor, to say that im entitled to the swine flu vaccination now and I told them, no I dont want it. I dont know if ive done the right thing now. You dont know what to do for the best as there's that many different stories about it. What would you do?

i think id say that too, its never been used before so how can we tell its safe for us and baby?

I say go with your instincts. I'm waiting on a letter or call and will be telling them no straight away. x

me 2, i said no. but.. i live in gibraltar, its a very small country and there havent been any fatalities or even very bad cases. so i feel safer declining it here.

I've already done it. It has to be the thing that YOU feel will give you peace. If you will worry that you didn't get it and you are afraid of catching it then you should...if you feel stronger about the risks of the unknown then you should stay away...after reading countless threads, articles, talking with family, friend anyone who will listen but in the end the decision was mine and it had to be the one that would make me feel the safest.

I know this is obvious advice but I polled everyone I knew and was no further ahead because my set of circumstances, values and beliefs were not exactly the same as someone else for example.

i was really unsure about it as i didnt want to be gini pig, but they booked me in anyway to speak to nurse about it. is there any info at all out there about the effects?
i dont want it, as effcts unknown to baby
but on otherhand the effcts on swine flu on me and baby are really negative so im like totally unsure!!
