Personally, I think there is a big difference between vaccines that have been around a long time and have numerous studies that can attest to their safeness and effectiveness, and vaccines had accelerated manufacturing and limited testing. When the whole H1N1 thing happened and some of the population became hysterical, I don't blame anyone for sitting on the sidelines and not wanting to be the first ones to try it especially considering the effectiveness was not proven and/or at an acceptable level. People should be cautious... I agree. But most vaccines have gone through rigorous testing and are statistically safe and have societal benefits that outweigh the risks.
