H1N1 flu shots give pregnant women pause
Doctors will need to ease concerns about future reactions
Flu shots are never an easy sell to the pregnant women Dr. Katharine Taber sees at her Towson obstetrics practice.
These are women who worry about everything they put into their bodies, from tuna fish to coffee to pain relievers. So Taber has to explain how important it is that they get the tried-and-true seasonal flu vaccine, because a serious case of flu could be dangerous to their developing babies.
This year, Taber is working double-time on her salesmanship. Health officials have made pregnant women among the highest-priority groups to get the swine flu vaccine, which is still being tested, when it becomes available next month."
It's tough," she said. "They're worried about the safety of the vaccine because it hasn't had a ton of testing. ... They're asking if Tylenol is OK and I'm telling them they have to get this new shot. The risk-benefit says the vaccine is safer [than getting the H1N1 virus] - take the vaccine. But they're skeptical."

Joe,
It is great that you are being recognized for exposing the risks of swine flu vaccines. Not many media outlets are touching the subject. However, accepting none of the blood money from big pharma, your site is exposing the risks and dangers.
Keep up the good work
Thanks
