Got My H1N1??
Had to take my H1N1 vaccine, or I would have to wear a mask for 8 hrs at work,, Working on a cardiology unit it crazy in itself.. but now with all the swine flu patients coming in,, I felt that i should get it, Then i start to read up on it and it says it causes sterilzation in female rats.,,umm yea! like i dont have enough problems..Did anyone else take it?
I've taken it...and I've never heard anything about sterilization. They do give you a sheet of paper with possible complications before your get it, and I'm pretty sure I would have noticed if that was one of them. Unfortunately, there are so many "conspiracy theories" out there about this shot, especially from non-medical sources, while the medical community seem to be pretty unanimous in recommending it, especially if you're high risk. There are always risks involved in anything, but the chances of complications from the shot is far less than from getting the swine flu itself; so to me at least (being in my third trimester now and extra susceptible to major complications should I get it), the benefits far outweighed the possible risks.
