I'm a nurse and won't get, er... Shot.
Last year I received a vaccine for the seazonal flu and I got sick 2 days. One month and a half latter, during christmas, I had the worst flu ever, that lasted almost 2 weeks.
There are many flu variations to be really considered protected by a vaccine, even if that vaccine is updated every year. About the A(H1N1) flu... So far it's harmless, compared to the seazonal flu. We'll have to wait for the next cold months to see it spread much more and have a more comprehensive study. But so far, all this alarm is overblown, maybe with other interests behind.
Anyway, I prefer to gain natural resistance to the flu than trying a new vaccine that couldn't possibly have been thoroughly tested.
