Is that really a swine flu pandemic?
Im 19 and I'm going to college and Im soo tired of hiring in the Swine flu every day! Im not receive the vaccine because I do not feel like I should get something inside me that fire has not been approved by the FDA. It is the swine flu pandemic, or the media present him as that? Thank you for the help!
Inflenza H1N1 influenza A (swine flu) is a pandemic. Many people will be affected slightly – not even realize they have it. While hype is playing its role causing panic in the swine flu, but also plays a role in reporting the facts and figures of people affected. In recent weeks we have seen a sharp increase in the number of people severely affected by the swine flu – suffering from multiple organ failure requiring intensive care. We lucky in this day and age to have a vaccine to protect against the virus – the previous generations did not have that luxury – The vaccine has been approved and is available (I got mine). The absorption of the vaccine so far is good – so once the mass immunity kicks in we should expect to see a reduction in the spread of the virus. A health professional can give you more advice on vaccines and allow you to make a decision informed as to whether or not you should go for it.
