Do you have any medical sources to back this up? Everything I've read has said the opposite, with children and elderly being at most risk (as always), and there are clearly many many time more people getting sick and/or dying from regular seasonal flu.
I'm not 100% set on this one. If I start reading from enough credible sources that I should be getting this shot, then I will; but I don't want to get it based simply on mass panic and news sensationalization.
