swine flu vaccine for pregnant women
My doc says I should get the vaccine against swine influenza H1N1 I am 7 months pregnant, I have 3 children at home.?

If I get vaccine against swine flu I'm so nervous my doc said yes and told not to look at things on the Internet and to trust him. I must decide in 10 min. because they now offer only three hours during what should I do if something happens to me has all pregnant women but I shot and have been well please help me I need a quick answer !!!!!!!!!

First, you should know: You probably will not get anything from an MD protocol other than Western medicine, and that protocol is being shaped the pharmaceutical industry. Second, you must understand that on Yahoo Answers there are people who have a vested interest in encouraging people to get vaccinated. Some even claim to be nurses and biologists. These people are now under the domination of a combination of science and politics (bad mix in many cases). Third, I will try to give you some info to read so that you could get a better view, but if you only have 3 hours to decide I guess you'll do the right thing culturally and just listen to the doctor. Statistically, you are not at greater risk complications of all H1N1 this year that you were from strains of influenza that were there last year (and if anyone has evidence to the contrary please link to one source). The vaccine against influenza (at least one called Fluvirin) has not been evaluated for safety particularly pregnant women, and since it is made in the same way as the vaccine against seasonal flu (they say), he was authorized to be marketed with minimum safety tests. If you go here: You'll see that they admit http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/news/QA/vteuH1N1qa.htm safety testing is still ongoing. Why would you need to continue testing on something that is really known to be safe already? Ten minutes elapsed. I guess you decided before you posted your question. Science marches on!
