My neurologist advised me to get the regular flu shot but did NOT recommend the swine flu shot indicating that the swine flu shot has not had enought time testing and the adjuvants used in the vaccine were not used in the testing - ie. we'll be the testers. Also, the adjuvants are oil based and have been previously linked in the past to the development of many neurological and autoimmune disorders-MS, Parkinson's, Lupus, Autism, Alzheimers, etc. Many of these side effects won't show up for years. Because of these reasons, he emphatically did not recommend it and I won't be taking it.
Of course, not everyone agrees. My niece has a rare autoimmune disorder and my sister said that their doctor said the child "must" have the swine flu shot. My sister and her kids are taking it. I'm not and neither are my daughter and grandchildren.
In the end, it's a personal decision. Bottom line - do your research and ask questions. If you're not comfortable, get answers that make you comfortable before you take the "jab" as the English say.
Thanks, Rheyanne, for giving us the latest scoop on CDC recommendations. It's an issue on everyone's mind.
