“Oomis: refuah shleimah!”
Thanks so much Tzippi. I am B”H on the mend.
To respond to NY Mom : The thalidomide comparison IS a valid one, in relation to the H1N1 vaccine. We do not yet know the effects of this vaccine on a first trimester pregnancy.The docs in the 50s thought thalidomide was a miracle drug for pregnancy nausea. That is, until the babies of the mothers who took it, were born. I am leery of any possible teratogenic effects that could occur before this vaccine has had sufficient study. It is not exactly like every other flu vaccine, because the disease is more dangerous than most typical strains of flu. It stand to reason that the vaccine to prevent it could be more virulent, as well. My doc will not give it.
