As some of you know, my wife and I are expecting our first child in late Nov/early Dec. Needless to say, we're thrilled but during a recent doc appointment, I asked about the risks/benefits of the swine flu vaccine.
Despite the fact that the vaccine is still being tested and won't be available until mid October, our doc said that pregnant women would be the first to get it due to their vulnerability to swine flu and that the benefits outweigh the risks. Since then, I've done some research and have found plenty of info both in support and opposition of pregnant women getting the vaccine. I know there are some parents of young children and other expecting parents out there so I figured I throw the question to all of you: will you get the swine flu (or regular flu) vaccine for your pregnant wife and/or young child?
