<![CDATA[Flu Vaccine]]>Will be bringing my kids overseas (Taiwan and HK) soon. Wonder if I should bring them for the Flu Vaccine. The clinics are only offering 3 in 1 (which includes H1N1) vaccine, while I only prefer to have them take the Flu Vaccine.


Thanks

[quote=\"carebear\"]All the up to date flu vaccine contain the H1N1 vaccine.

There is no flu vaccine without the H1N1 vaccine.
What is your reservation about the H1N1 vaccine?

a number of suspected side effects

Yes, that's my main reservation. Don't want it to be a case of one step forward, but two steps backwards for the kids. If touch wood they kena the side effect.[/quote]Then cannot be protected against the influenza A and B strain and also no protection against H1N1.



carebear:
With every medication or vaccination, there are side effects. So it is a matter of weighing the benefits against the risks.
There is no updated flu vaccine that does not contain the H1N1 strain in it.
So if one does not want the H1N1 vaccine, then one cannot have the updated flu vaccine.
