Swine Flu Vaccination

Parents are concerned about their children and the H1N1 virus. There now is a swine flu vaccination out, the Food and Drug Administration gives it a thumbs up saying "It's made the same way as regular seasonal flu vaccines, with minor side effects, and there has been no safety issues in the several thousand people studied." The Center for Disease Control added "the effectiveness of this vaccine varies on the age and condition of health the individual is in." Parents are divided with this. 41% would get their child seasonally vaccinated for the flu, 22% would not. For the Swine Flu 35% would get their child vaccinated while 14% said definitely not, and half said it would depend. 57% of these parents are concerned about their children getting the swine flu, but 65% are very concerned with the newness of this vaccine. 1,502 interviews were done to complete this survey. The Swine Flu vaccination's are currently out.
