Should Everyone Get the H1N1 Flu Shot?

Despite the unsubstantiated dire warnings about the dangers of flu vaccines, my personal view is that everyone, including healthy adults, should get both the regular seasonal and H1N1 flu shots; both my wife and I have gotten flu shots every year. The reason:

  1. The flu kills many thousands in this country every year, and the toll will undoubtedly be even greater this year with the threat of the H1N1 flu.
  2. Experience shows that the dangers associated with an attack of the flu are many-fold greater than any risks or side effects of the vaccine.
