Swine flu may (currently) not be as deadly as the normal flu, it is however vastly more infectious:

Re: Nasal Vaccine
Like Broomstick, I'm going to put out a call for individuals healthy and able to receive the vaccine.
Do it for the rest of us - I can't get it because something in vaccines fucks me up very badly (the last flu lot I had sealed the deal. I nearly went into full blown anaphylactic shock, and only the swift action of my doctor, who, aware of my allergies and the risk, had already prepared some adrenaline and (probably in a violation of some regulation or another) gave me a smaller initial 'test' dose from the initial syringe, kept it from becoming a serious health emergency.) and I'd prefer to stay alive if this gets big.
Again, if you're healthy and a valid candidate, get the damn vaccine.

Re: Nasal Vaccine
pfft, I can't get one. Neither the regular flu nor the H1N1, not out of malaise or laziness, out of there not being enough and I'm a fucking healthcare worker. It is ridiculous.

Re: Nasal Vaccine
I've been a few places for the kids and nothing 
The only one we had access to was the nasal spray and I can't get that and neither can my youngest, so we are still looking... They have appointments on Tuesday; I am a bit worried because my 4 yr old's school just sent home a note that there have 10 cases of H1N1 (it's a very small school as well so this is pretty significant).

Keep trying, of course, but remember that MOST cases of this flu are very mild.

Re: Nasal Vaccine
My doctor's office should be receiving some next week, and they have the records of my having gotten pneumonia in.. I can' t remember if it was the winter of 2003 - 2004 or 2004 - 2005, honestly, but I did, albeit a mild walking case. Nonetheless there was a bit of lung scarring left over and I'm not taking my chances with it, I'm driving up to Seattle the moment they get it in even though it's 160 miles each way.

Every time you get a shipment of the stuff somewhere, lines form and it's gone. My work was supposed to get some for us but they're finding it hard to get some, let alone the regular strain.
