This is just about enough to make your head spin. We look at the news stories every day, and frankly, we're just about sick of health officials and pharmaceutical companies talking with authority while contradicting themselves.
At first we were told that 2 shots would be necessary for the H1N1 vaccine to be effective. Some reports then said 3 shots might be needed. Then we were told the "good" news, they have found that only 1 shot would be needed after all. Then they said that only 1 shot would be needed as long as it had the adjuvant, which would increase the immune response with a smaller dose. Then we were told that, some groups would need two shots and others would be fine with one...
Well, if you had any confidence left in the system, listen to this new information, brought to us by government health offices. They say that tests of Sanofi-Pasteur's swine flu vaccine showed children of ten years and older responding to the vaccine for swine flue just like they do to regular flu, and so they only need a single dose. Younger children, however, need two shots, about 21 days apart.
So, if any part of your brain is even considering getting this vaccine, think about how they can't even come to some agreement on the amount of shots needed, so how good is their information on other things, like the safety of vaccine and the need for a vaccine in the first place. What makes you think they really know what they are talking about and that this is anything other than a big experiment.
