I got the H1N1 flu shot on Oct. 27th. I got it because I want to protect myself against this flu. People are dying from this flu. I think any older person should also get the shot especially if they are care givers for young children i.e. grandchildren.
I have never had a flu shot before and this is the first time. I have had no ill effects from getting the shot, other than 8 hours afterwards feeling sore where they gave me the shot in the upper arm. Today I am fine and have no adverse effects from the shot.
It is definitely a personal choice as to whether, or not one wants to get it. I just felt compelled to get it to be on the safe side. Have to admit that I was influenced by the media and the news. Spoke to my sister in the States (Virginia) and she told me her co-workers son was down with the swine flu. I think that was what decided me to go and get it. Only had to wait 1/2 hr. and found the Niagara Region Health Dept. to be very efficient and pleasant.
As they say, "An ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure."

Just adding this comment the next day. Upon reading the literature provided by the Health Dept. it takes up to two weeks for the shot to be fully effective. I think this is another reason to not put off getting the shot. Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween.

So as my decision not to get the H1N1 shot,i was only oblize to have shot before when i was working in the Nursing home 10 years ago and it made me more sicker than when i don't have the Flu shot,its been 4 years now that i don't have it and i'm fine,if i feel my throat is itchy,its the sign of catching cold and cough,also you feel your head is heavy.
I had this home remedy that our Ancestor's pass to us,all of us have this in our kitchen.
1/2 tsp.table salt
1 tbsp.apple cidar vinigar
1 glass of warm water
Gargle this mixture 3 times a day.What the salt do is loosen the virus that stock on your throat and the vinegar also will dis-infect it,so by gargling and spitting those stuff in your throat it clense and take those unwanted germs to get in your body,so if your able to get rid of it on time,your safe,i had it 2 weeks ago and i regularly gargle 3 times a day even if my throat is not itchy,just a precaution.Theres no harm in trying,so pass this to all friends and relatives,i share it to all,so as to help one another. an

I have been getting flu shots for years and never had side effects worth mentioning. Before that, I used to get very bad colds very often. I intend to get the H1N1 flu shot, because I don't want to be resposible for spreading it around, should I get the flu. I might then infect a young person who might die from it.

Speaking of 60 Minutes.....
This is a very long video, as it carries on in different sections, but I think it's so important that we all know about this, I'm hoping some of you actually take the time (at least half an hour) to listen to it all the way through.

Well when that boy that died with H1N1 who was televised made the Canadians lined up for the Vaccine and now they run out,what happen to we have enough,the young,olds they are left in Joepardy.
Some go to the Herbal stores for fear of the H1N1 and if they run out of stock,what place do the others go?
Heres the Alternative,first you scroll in www.herbal remedies ginger.com.
I had reseached it last 2 days,cause i remembered my folks used to boil use ginger when we get sick and it cure us,but before you do ,you need some information about the effect of this ancient Herbal medecine believed to be grown originally from the garden of Eden.
Heres my great,great Grandma's recipe and maybe some of you have grandma's that prepare you this kind of herbal remedies.

Ginger cold drink
1 tsp.finely chopped ginger
1tbsp.brown sugar for kids and for adult 1 tbsp.of Honey
3 cups of water
Boil this all,when it boils adjust it to simmer for 5 minutes,then drink it warm,not hot not cold,just enough to drink,but please go to www.herbal remedies ginger.com before having the remedy ok?
It is believed in the Ancient time this Ginger is number one herbal medicine.
Just sharing to you all,no need to Panic,i always remember the Herbal medicine which was pass to us by our Ancestor,it helps.Anyway their wasn't any doctors before.They only have Medecine man,and where does the present medecine came from? I think majority came from the medecine people in Ancient times.

Hi Everyone:
Just dropping by to give an update on myself post getting the H1N1 flu shot on Oct. 27th. Just want to say that I feel fine. I must say that a couple of days ago I had a slight runny nose.....I thought oh, oh, what's going on. Happy to say got some decongestants and took them for two days and I am well again and nothing developed further.
Good luck with all the ancient herbal remedies......I hope they all work well.
I went for my seasonal flu shot and my family doctor wants me to wait for four weeks after the HlNl flu shot......just passing in on f.y.i.
Wishing everyone well and keep healthy......I also take a multi-vitamin with minerals every day starting with the cooler weather.
Hugs, Liz xo

Hello - I did get H1N1 flu shot as I visit my grandchildren frequently and visit seniors in the community. I had no ill effect; my arm was tender for a day or two. I have heard many concerns about if this vaccine has been properly tested.
Wishes for good health in the next few months.
Regards, Ruth B
