H1N1 Vaccine

So it’s all over news this morning that the H1N1 vaccine has arrived on our shores.  So while out for getting our pet supplies we met up with some friends and weigh the pros and cons about getting the needle.   As Mr Moo and I are at high risk – one with asthma and another with diabetes.. we can go in and get the first shots.  But no one will be turned away .. according to CBC if they arrived on the inoculation center.

We are still checking with our public nurse about it.. but this is what i’ve found out so far.  The government had spent like $300 million for this vaccine .. and 85% of any healthy adults who are vaccinated will develop the immunity for the H1N1 flu within 10 days.   In my humble opinion.. i don’t think there would be any harm in taking the vaccine, in fact – this should really keep us doubly safe especially since we deal with the public so much.  What’s your take on it..??
