I'll be getting both the regular flu shot and the H1N1 shot at the first available opportunity. I have a wife who works in the public school system and three school aged children who bring home pretty much every common virus under the sun, and one of my sons is a severe asthmatic. I am a pretty healthy guy and H1N1 for me would probably mean a bad case of the flu, but H1N1 for my son could easily be fatal, and that's not a chance I am willing to take. Why take the risk if there is a means to mitigate it? Seems like kind of a no-brainer to me. I know there is a lot of discussion over whether or not the vaccines are effective, but it seems to me that any protection is better than no protection at all.
