Swine Flu
What newest craze is all the kids at school talking about? This Swine Flu. It's the newest thing. Everyone has to have it. What is awesome is that you can get it for free but the price may be fatal. Aw!!!!! OK on the serious side. I'm up in the air as to whether I should be concerned or not about the swine flu. Yes it's true that this virus is fatal. It has killed many already. But the seasonal flu kills numerous people every year. What makes me the most nervous is that I have 3 elementary aged children. I question is the risk of the vaccine because I've heard conflicting reactions. On the news, 'experts' say that the vaccine is harmless and no more dangerous than getting the seasonal vaccination. On the other hand my grandmother's doctor said that he wouldn't get the swine flu vaccine himself unless it gets tested first. I can understand what he is saying. It's not worth the risk. When you think about it, the swine flu is not all that dangerous. The children who have died have mainly had underlining health conditions already. I have decided to give my children just the regular seasonal flu shot until the swine flu shot gets fully tested and a seal of approval.
