is it necessary to have the shots for swine flu especially now with the new outbreak?

Get them If you can, it never hurts to be safe. Plus this sort of flu spreads very easily!

yes, this flu strain is contagious but you can easily avoid it by practicing good hygiene like frequent hand washing.

I took a vaccine for swine flu as I live in Texas and we had an outbreak there last June. If you feel that you need to protect yourself then get vaccinated. Swine flu is very contagious and spreads very easily.

This swine flu thingy is hyped, overrated!!! More people died of car accidents this year than this virus infecting people. While I don't intend to promote not caring about being clean and all that, but sometimes the news just makes stories too sensational just to sell, get more viewer/reader ratings.

wait till you get it then say its over hyped! LOL!

I agree that the media has created quite a stir on this virus, but it is highly contagious! young kids and the elderly should be alert and take precautions. remember that the world is a global village. when you sneeze they can feel it in China...hahahahaah!

Because of the scare, there is also a shortage on the vaccine. Media can be bad sometimes.

You dont need shots. Just take lots of Vit C and stay away from crowded places. Its the media that crated this frenzy. Nothing to be scared about!
