I am wondering what other parents think about the H1N1 flu and the vaccine for your kids. Are you going to give it to them? WHat are the risks of giving the vaccine to our kids? At what age can a child have the vaccine?
What is your overall option on this subject???
Has anyone already gotten there child the h1n1 vaccine?
My daughter is 8 months old and I’m worried!!!
Please no rude comments.
Can the H1N1 vaccine cause autism?

My daughter is 9 months old. She will not be getting either the flu or the h1n1 vaccine.
My gut told me to hold back on vaccines for her. We haven’t done any. I had one doctor tell me that I was saving her from an "unnecessary poke" and another doctor screamed at me. Then, when my daughter was three months old (a month past the appointment where she would have gotten her first shots), she had a severe reaction to a decongestant. She was unconscious and unresponsive for seven hours due to four drops of a medicine. We have since learned that she has a severe hypersensitivity to certain drugs. It’s very likely that the vaccines, had she gotten them, could have harmed or killed her.
My point? Listen to your gut instinct. Do your research. Not just from the CDC site either. Read the news stories.
In Nashville, there is a hospital who is refusing to give or to take the h1n1 nasal spray because they believe it’s dangerous. The fact that a hospital believes that tells me a whole lot more than I get from a CDC site where they profit by pushing the vaccines. Money IS involved, and they do get it. They just find twisted ways to do it and say that they’re not related. Several news channels have had great stories on this in recent weeks.
H1N1 has had an outbreak locally for about a month now. One of my co-workers had it (he got it from his daughter). He exposed our entire office for two days while he was showing symptoms (supposedly it’s contageous for a couple of days before they even show symptoms, so we were probably exposed for 4-5 days). Not a single one of us got it. Of his family of four (including an infant son), only he and his daughter had it. And it was nothing more than a glorified cold.
Around here, the doctors just send people home for a week. That’s it. No panic. There have been A LOT of confirmed cases here and there haven’t been any deaths or serious side effects. Again, a glorified cold that the media is taking all out of proportion.
Statistically, if you compare the numbers, it’s actually a little better than the regular flu. People die from the regular flu all the time. The media is just scaring people and taking it all out of proportion.
Oh, and another thing - the shots themselves can and are dangerous. Just a couple of days ago, a (regular) flu shot killed a perfectly healthy eight-year-old boy in NY who had no underlying health conditions.
As for your question about whether it can cause autism, NO ONE knows for sure about any of the vaccines. The most anyone will say is that there is "no definitive proof" that it can cause it. Yet, even the DTAP vaccine has autism and sids listed as possible side effects. I personally believe that there are things in vaccines that can trigger autism in some children-children who are prone to get it possibly due to genetics or neurological issues, and that the vaccines just break that fine line that they were holding onto.
There is a lot of mercury in the H1N1 vaccine. They raised the allowable levels so that they could get this vaccine through, and that has been a concern about autism in the past.
I personally will not give it to my child and I will not get it myself.
Check out the Yahoo Group called "Vaccinations" for more information on anything that I said above.
