Physiology & Medicine / Is the H1N1 vaccination worth it?
« on: 04/11/2009 09:59:49 »
Hey everyone!
I don't know if it goes against forum policy to talk about this (in our country it's a political issue).
So I'd like to know what the people on this forum think about the vaccination against the H1N1 virus. I'm thinking about geting the vaccine, but here in Hungary there is a big opposition against it. Their main arguments are:
- the development of the vaccine was rushed, so it may have some unknown sideeffects
- the vaccine is highly ineffective, it works only in the fraction of the cases
- the virus is not more dangerous then the original flu so it's not worth it to get vaccinated
Where can I find reliable information on these issues (mainly data not anecdotes), and whats your oppinion on the subject?
