I was vaccinated for H1N1 yesterday. Initially, I saw no reason to be vaccinated because I felt I was at very little risk to catch the disease or to suffer from it. I thought there was no reason to get the vaccination. However, I reconsidered, thinking, even if I were to get H1N1, it might not affect me much, but the elderly people I work with every day and others I come into contact with might be more susceptible. They were giving the shots free at work yesterday and I decided it couldn't hurt anything. I might as well build the immunity to prevent unknowingly spreading the disease.
The only side effect I felt was a spreading warmness 10-15 minutes afterwards as my body reacted to the invaders and gobbled em up. I felt more energy being used to eliminate the contents of the shot, but it wasn't enough to make me feel tired. There was no feeling of dizziness or sickness, and keep in mind that when I was 10, I nearly passed out from getting a shot. haha
Get the shot if it's necessary for you. Don't worry about others, and remember you have the free will to accept or reject.
