well... I am not surprised to see the strong opinions AGAINST having my wife take the vaccine (despite her being a pregnant elementary school teacher, precisely the highest risk category for the flu and the most likely to be directed to get the vaccine).
We've discussed this with our OB and she will most likely get the vaccine. We still have a couple of questions about it, but I trust the doctor and believe (per the answers she has provided thus far) that she has been educating herself to a degree greater than I (and greater than you... YES, I'M TALKING TO YOU!)
Anyhow, at dinner last night I asked my friend's pregnant wife if she is going to get the vaccine. When she responded "yes", I asked her if she was worried about how the vaccine is produced primarily by our 'frienemey' Japan. I furthered this question with a comment about how they are trying to sterilize an entire generation of Americans since Pearl Harbor was a bust... (This is not meant to be a factual comment... just a joke I was making)... she was planning to get it, as is my wife.
I presume this comment was made to me.

If the guys who created the bloody thing won't take it, why should she?
How much more so if my wife was pregnant.
Doc: you need to take H1N1
Us: GFY...
