Thanks for the info I will check it out. I am equally concerned with the actual vaccine as i am with the Swine Flu itself. I want to research how it is tested and how they know it will be safe for my baby. It is all sort of quick and new.
You're welcome! It's hard to make a decision between 2 things that sound scary. Hopefully you can talk with your doctor and figure out the risks and benefits for your situation. I think part of it depends on where you live, what you are exposed to, etc.
