Pregnant Women – How many of you are getting the vaccine against H1N1?

I am pregnant and will get it. Some people I talked to are not. What are your thoughts and reasoning? Mine is that influenza vaccination have been made for decades, and this is just another flu vaccine is safe. In addition, 28 of 100 pregnant women who contracted swine flu so far have died. 28% is high, So I think the vaccine is the way forward. This is the statistic from the news yesterday. I'm in the U.S.. Most land pregnant women themselves ICU because when you are pregnant, your immune system is weakened. In addition, the vaccine will not affect the baby. I hear all these views. Thank you!

I agree with you. I'll get it. It's just another vaccine against influenza, has made the same way with the same ingredients by the same companies that make the seasonal vaccine. Most people do not realize that the seasonal vaccine is "new" each year as it targets different strains of influenza from year to year based on those that are prevalent at the time. H1N1 vaccine is newer than the seasonal vaccine. Your numbers are not quite right. I think it is: the United States on 100 pregnant women admitted to the hospital with complications from influenza H1N1, 28 have died. This is different than 28% of women who received the flu * *. It is still high, but.
