I had been getting the regular flu shot via my employer for the last number of years. Didn't get it this year, and I don't plan on getting the H1N1 shot either. I'll try and remember to check in a year or two from now and let you know if I noticed a difference. The confusion about this vaccine is certainly snowballing.. the fact that it seems to be 50/50 even among the health care workers definitely doesn't help us average joe's make a decision either! I don't think there's a blanket "right answer". Do your own research, and then make the decision that's right for YOU. Other people shouldn't criticize you one way or the other, it's YOUR decision, not theirs.
