Afraid of Getting a Flu Shot?

Over the last 2 weeks I have heard and read the pros and cons of getting the HINI swine flu vaccine shot. I personally will get one when I am elegible to receive one.(I am in a group that is supposed to be healthy and less of a risk of catching it, and because of shortages, high risk groups get it first).

A few points to ponder however:

  • The Canadian government has agreed to cover the cost of any lawsuits launched against the manufacturer GlaxoSmith-Kline should something go wrong.
  • The Canadian government approved the vaccine before Glaxo finished clinical trials
  • Health Canada decided to to rely on tests to a similar HINI vaccine similar to one made for the European market by Glaxo. It was approved following clinical trials on 129 healthy adults between 18 and 60
  • According to Health Canada, no test s have been done on children or those over 60
  • It was reported by Reuters that Glaxo will make more from swine flu than any other drug manufacturer.
  • Under US law, Washington can ban lawsuits as well against drug companies in the event of an emergency

Hmmmmm! Makes you wonder, doesn't it? I am not a fear monger and sometimes a little knowledge can be harmful, however, I am either naive or I believe in and have trust in my family doctor to want the vaccine.
