I think in the Netherlands, its closer to 80%.

Not bad if I read the US figures.

Aside from all the conspiracies and scaremongering, I wonder about this question.

Swine flu seems no different than any other kind of flu, it just gets more airplay.
I am not impressed with the number of people killed by this virus.

From what I hear, there are some legitimate concerns about the quality of the vaccine. Some in the medical profession seem to think that it was rushed to market and can do damage in small minority of people.

I have two small children, so my question is actually if I should vaccinate them.

My very aged mother badgered me to get the vaccine because I'm a chronic asthmatic. I may even have had the swine flu already. I feel guilty because I feel only school age children should get it and I'm 62.

Is it possible that the claim for the vaccine not being given for children under 6 years is in fact under 6 months? This is what was announced in the UK yesterday (see Rolfe's post).
