The flu sucks - "normal" or "swine" or H1N1. It fucking sucks. And, the only thing worse than having it yourself is watching your child go through it. As a parent, why would I not do what I can to prevent them from going through the worst of it?

Tmall is right, however the flu vaccine is different every year. they choose 3 different strains that they think will be prevelant and thats what they make the vaccine from.

Most cases of "swine flu" we saw were actualy rather mild.
