Every doctor to whom I have spoken about this has said he will not give the H1N1 vaccine out yet. The “jury is still out” on its long-term safety, and as long as that is an issue, I would not indiscriminately give it out. It is not exactly like any typical flu shot, and enough people have not yet been given the shot and then studied for both its efficacy and safety, for doctors to make an informed judgment about it. Maybe it is a godsend, or maybe it will turn out to be another thalidomide catastrophe, causing permanent disastrous side effects in its users.
