Swine Flu Vaccine Risk

Tuesday, 4 January 2011

Flu vaccine was not recommended before by medical physicians unless if you are already in an unhealthy state or should be in a particular age. They feared that they would actually do more harm than good for those types of patients.

Nowadays, it is highly advised that everyone from six months of age should be vaccinated to protect against flu. A professor of medicine in the Hospital Weil Cornell Medical Center of New York named Isadore Rosenfield, MD has agreed to this. It is vital to complete the immunization for your health. Without it, you are putting yourself at a great risk to possibly catch the flu and have it lead to other problems you might be having.
The vaccine deployed this year is different from the previous ones as it will be protecting people from FLU A and B and along with that it will fight against Swine Flu which is also called H1N1.
The vaccine is available from your family doctors, pediatrician or any medical practitioners. If you have the training and can administer the vaccine yourself, you can also buy it from any drugstores that costs around $30.00. Walgreens also has this vaccine available.

Some people may not choose to become vaccinated for the H1N1 vaccine because of a rare disorder that developed as a result called Guillian-Barre syndrome back in 1976. The Guillian-Barre syndrome attacks the nervous system but most people recover from this disorder.
It has been stated by Dr. Rosenfeld that one might have a very less risk of the Guillain-Barre syndrome development once he has been vaccinated for the H1N1. You may also have the flu vaccine I which Swine flu vaccine is not included. If you have any such concern then you should simply ask for this before taking the vaccination.

It is one’s preference to be protected with the flu vaccine. It is important that an individual know the significance of taking a vaccine and what are its effects or its allergic components.
Consulting a doctor is a smart way to go before deciding on getting a flu vaccine. Good health is very essential to a man’s life and it is not something that you can gamble.
