I won't get it. Simply because I have no need for it. It won't kill me, and I'll just be out of school with a bad flu. It's no big deal. I have no health problems, I'm not 5, and I'm not 70. Those are the only people at risk.
It has formaldehyde and mercury in it, so I would not get it.
All vaccines have a minimal amount of mercury in them. It won't harm you at all.
And I probably won't get the vaccine. It is free, but I don't really think I need to. As TSL said, I don't have any underlying medical conditions. That seems to be the real killer for people who have H1N1.
And anyways, more people die from seasonal flu than H1N1... so I'm not too worried about it.
If you're in a risk group and/or you have an underlying condition (like me, asthma and only 13 ) then definitely, otherwise it'll be as useful as getting a flu shot yearly. It's just as safe, just as effective, and the disease is just as bad.
Dont worry you'l be fine the Swine Flu shot is the same thing as a normal flu shot, except it has some added ingredients for specificly for the Swine Flu.
If you have asthma, no matter how bad, you need the vaccine. Most of the people dying so far have been kids with either heart conditions or asthma. Even if your asthma isn't very bad, it will be constantly aggravat3d by H1N1. If you don't get the vaccine and you get the swine flu, you'll have a considerable risk of dying/going to the hospital for a while. The severity of asthma refer mainly to the sensitivity of the bronchial tubes and how common the attacks are, but if you have it even mildly then H1N1 becomes much, much more dangerous for you.

You can't be too sure at all, TSL3. Flu kills people without underlying conditions as do people with Asthma and the like. If you had the lucky chance to get an opportunity in your school, you should take the vaccine, especially if it's free.
That being said, the vaccine is not FDA approved, and I would wait 'till it is. There have been confirmed deaths from the vaccine itself. Out of the hundred million U.S. citizens, I heard many numbers, like 30, 40, 50, even 100. Just be wary if you do decide to take it.

Nope. I won't take it, not even if I'm forced. For one, I hate needles; two, I'm not taking something that might kill me; third, I have no need for it. There hasn't been any confirmed deaths or even infections where I live, and I have no medical problems. At all. Other then some mental issues, but those are irrelevant.
