As someone who has been through this already, and i can honestly say that im not even sure im completely over it, I would encourage everyone to get the vaccine if they have the choice.
Even if the current version of the vaccine seems like it may not be perfected, if it will counter just one single version of the H1N1 strain, you will be so freaking thankful. The virus is unlike anything else i had ever experienced, and never want to even come close to again. The illness is debilitating, the physical pain is almost unbearable, and the recovery time seems endless.
Obviously getting vaccinated or not is a personal choice, but if you have children i certainly would seriously consider it, as this is something you do not want to see them go through and it would be 100 times worse if you were the carrier they got it from.
