Swine flu vaccination or not?

I’m so not decided if to get the vaccination or not… The name of the flu is just very scary…
I have been getting a regular flu shot over the last 5 years or more but 2 years ago, I got my husband to get it and either he contracted the flu whilst waiting at the doctors or the vaccination knocked him out in itself. He was down for 5 days, lost heaps of wait… I got the flu shot a day after him and either I got it of him or the flu shot itself.
Anyway… I just don’t know if we both should get it or not.
Hubby’s got Asthma, so I’m worried about him getting the swine flu.

What do you think about it???

I’d love to read your opinions!

Thank you!

    Awwww, that video is sooo sad! And i have had the vaccination and yeah its quite small. I have had no other symptoms besides a swelling at the injection site. I think it is definitely worth it.

    My mother had the injection as she has health problems and her doctor she suggested she have the injection. She had the injection several weeks ago and has had no adverse reaction. When I was working I used to get the regular flu injection because it was offered for free at work.

    Can you explain it a bit Kay n Jay, is it about the swine flu shot or just the regular one, I can`t watch videos from here very well.
