The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has issued new warnings about the H1N1 vaccine, commonly known as Swine Flu. Since supplies of the vaccine are limited anyway, it is wise to know that there are several side effects you should consider with your doctor before you get your shot.
The CDC warns, for example, that “people who are allergic to eggs might be at risk for allergic reactions from receiving influenza vaccines, including the 2009 H1N1 vaccine.” Children with severe asthma are also at risk although there are special treatments available.

If you are having a severe reaction, the CDC said you may experience “high fever or behavior changes, difficulty breathing, hoarseness or wheezing, swelling around the eyes or lips, hives, paleness, weakness, a fast heart beat or dizziness.” The CDC recommends seeking medical attention immediately if you spot any of the above symptoms.
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national vaccine safety surveillance program co-sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS is a post-marketing safety surveillance program, collecting information about adverse events (possible side effects) that occur after the administration of vaccines licensed for use in the United States. Their site is: vaers.hhs.gov

Also, for those in the USA, you can find out where to get a flu shot via the www.flushotsusa.com website and register your children depending where you live.
