OINK. OINK. The common question rolling around this week is whether to recieve the swine flu vaccine.
In this year alone reports predict 30,000- 90,000 H1N1 virus deaths.
Studies show that the swine flu vaccine is highly recommended for target groups. The only problem is the vaccine is struggling to meet demands.
On this website it states the target groups are pregnant women, people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age, healthcare and emergency medical services personnel, persons between the age of 6 months and 24 years old, and people ages of 25 through 64 years of age who are at higher risk for 2009 H1N1 because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems.
The advantages of receiving the H1NI influenza Vaccine is preventing this severe flu. Receiving the vaccine can help prevent being out of work or school for a week.
The disadvantages of recieving this vaccine are side affects such as soreness, redness, and headaches. Many americans believe you should fight off virus without vaccines but studies have shown this virus is very contagious and we do not have natural immunity.
Receiving the vaccine is a personal optional but always be sure to wash your hands and stay healthy!
