    Personally no I won't be having it. I just don't feel there has been time for research into side effects and long term effects especially on unborn babies.

    No I won't be & really "what swine flu" I can not remember the last time I heard anything about it. Seems to all have fizzled out. It would have to be some massive risk to me for me to get injected with something like that.

    Nope I wont have it and neither will DH or DS.

    It has been rushed through and not tested as much as I would want before i even considered it and also I don't agree with flu vaccines!!

    I won't be having it done. My sister (who works in a hospital) spoke to their infection control officer and he advised against it for the reasons already stated i.e. it has been rushed through with not enough testing, don't know the effects on unborn children etc.

    Hi I like you really fear contracting swine flu but am very undecided if having the shot is a good idea I just heard today that they are predicting a big increase over summer??? Why?? I had hoped that I would be safer over the summer period!!! i think the story on fathers day really made me consider all the pros and cons, but still am not sure, I was hoping some info might come available from America where they have already started to give it to pregnant women I believe, maybe worth googling?

    I wouldn't have it, or opt for it for anyone in this family.

    Nobody in this family either, for all the same reasons...
    I was quite anxious about swine flu, but I would be even more anxious about a vaccine that has been rushed through ...
