Hi everybody,

I´m Sue from Germany and in 5th month pregnant. Here we have currently winter and the h1n1 flu is absolutely prevailing. Pregnant women should be get vaccinated but our vaccine (Pandemrix) isn´t recommended in the pregnancy because it contains thiomersal (mercury) and squalen (to boost its effect).

Now the government has ordered the vaccine Panvax, produced by an Australian company and already vaccinated during the last winter in Australia (so far I know it accurately).

I would like to know more about this vaccine, about our experiences, side-affects etc.

I´m very thankful for your answers, as I´m of two minds about the whole topic.
I´m afraid of the potential complications but I don´t want to hurt my unborn child.

So, thanks a lot for your answers!

Sue
