The five to fourteen age group, seem to have been hit particularly badly. Most of the deaths here in Northern from swine flu are among people with underlying health problems.

That's great because they drink out of puddles & such & that flu is rampant there, BUT what about us in the USA? Our nurses at the hospital haven't got their vaccines yet even.This is a small town, 18,000, but we had one teen die here a couple months ago & she worked in the DELI DEPT. at our one & only grocery store.

They might have mild flu-like symptoms, but it is nothing compared to the real thing. I won't thank you for sending us the bugs! ;) You stay well.

They're sick as dogs and in bed with the flu! Go figure. I think it's wise for those who are vulnerable but clearly Swine Flu has not been as big an issue here as first thought, even though the vaccine's free, the bug seems to have moved north! Sorry about that. Both my in laws had a flu vaccine last week and we rang last night. They’re sick as dogs and in bed with the flu! Go figure.

I have always found it a wonderful service. Alice, The NHS is one reason why I stay here in the North of Ireland. I have always found it a wonderful service.

I've (half) jokingly wished you could be my neighbor so we could play together (I think we'd have fun) in our second childhoods, but when I reconsider it, I think you'd really miss the NHS you have there.

Since I live alone I accepted. Without the vaccine a full blown flu would cause major upset not alone for me but for Elly too. Hopefully I will not need to disrupt her life, work and fun again for many a long year. Darlene, I am considered to be ‘At risk’, so therefore I was called for the annual flu and swine flu vaccines.

As long as there are shortages I am not going to get the shot because I think the children should be covered first, or those with immune issues. I will wait until there is plenty and then get vaccinated. We are still having shortages and my doctor hasn’t gotten his vaccine in yet.
