I never usually get the flu vaccine normally. Though I know the swine flu is deadly.
The other strains of the flu virus can also be deadly, mostly for people who have comprimised health already though. So while deaths due to swine flu appear to be very alarming in the news etc - the other types of flu can be just as nasty, its just not as news-worthy IYKWIM?

I don't get the general flu vax and I've chosen not to get the swine flu vax despite our GP trying to encourage us to do so. Neither has my son. He has had all the other vaccines on the schedule for babies.

It really comes down to personal choice based on your own research & information gathering. Good luck.
