H1N1 Continues to Makes its Rounds

One of the biggest medical scares in recent history is making its way around the world as the swine flu continues to spread. After infecting thousands of people during the summer, this bug won’t go away and doctors and scientists have told the public to brace itself for a worsening condition.

There’s one thing that scares people most about H1N1, and it has to do with the danger it presents to younger people it hits.

Typically, a strong immune system will fight off bugs. This, on the other hand, seems to strike ordinarily healthy people the hardest.

Having said that, officials are recommending the use of an H1N1 and regular flu vaccine each year to minimize the chances of the worst possible impact nationwide that health officials fear. They say this is the best protection against potential infection.

On the other hand, the swine flu is said to only end up killing less than one percent of those afflicted with it. Being that just a fraction of one percent of those will face a death rate, is it worth getting vaccinated from this epidemic?

Others are simply afraid of these vaccines. Very recently, a story in the news covered a woman in the DC area who was left virtually paralyzed after getting a simple vaccination. Incidents like these naturally scare people.

At the end of the day, your decision to vaccinate yourself from H1N1 should really rest on the advice of your medical professional. As someone who has no affiliation with the medical profession, I really can’t advise you on something like this – but, I will advise you to speak to your doctor to ask for the best recommended course of action.

The most important thing the public can do right now is to spread awareness about the symptoms and dangers of this illness. In doing so, people will be more prepared to act quickly.
