I just feel that it is worth waiting sometimes to put something rushed off the assembly line into your body (whether a vaccine, supplement, or any medication really), especially when the supply was limited. I also questioned how bad the epidemic really was (our media tends to hype things up and in hindsight, it does appear that it was overblown). It wasn't a question of whether vaccinations in general work, but just whether the one they were pumping out were necessary for everyone at that time.
I think the vaccination cause was hurt by the H1N1 scare, at least in the short term. There seems to have been significant blow black by a large portion of the population because of it.

Which is funny, but the statistics show that vaccination is likely the biggest reason it wasn't even deadlier than it could've been. There's blow back because the very behaviour that was asked for did what it was supposed to.
