Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has had their toddler/baby vaccinated yet? And if so, how is your child doing? I have a 17month old and I am really concerned about giving him the vaccine. I obviously don't want him to get sick with H1N1, but I also don't know that I believe this vaccine is safe... it's just too new. I have been doing ongoing research, but I keep finding conflicting information. I truly want to make the best decision for my son, and I would love to hear what other parents are thinking ... and hear any useful information that they might have found.
Thanks...

Found this and thought I would share it with any parents that were  looking for some information ...like me. According to the Vaccine insert, if I am reading this right, then there has been no testing completed on Pediatric patients under the age of 4! (link to .pdf file of the vaccine pamphlet below) If we give this to our children... then are we not just allowing them to be guinea pigs? I mean the fact that there has been no testing doesn't mean that something bad will indeed happen, but it does mean that they don't know! The thought of that scares me for my son! It truly seems like this is a lose lose situation right now. If we give it to our toddler/baby then we risk complications, if we don't, then we risk them getting the virus. (*SIGH*) Still not sure which way to go on this ! See page 12 point 8.4 for the pediatric info.

Here's some information about the early results of the swine flu vaccine and young children, that came out a few days ago.
