Will you be vaccinated against the H1N1 "?

haha damn james you couldnt be diabetic.. i have to give myself 4+ shots a day plus i have to prick my fingers more than that..

Ah, you too, eh?

Not to burst your bubble, but for people like you and I, the risks of getting the flu probably far outweigh the risk of having an adverse reaction to the shot.

who cares. everything is hazardous to your health. monitors weaken your eyesight, alcohol damages your liver, cigarettes cause cancer, food makes you fat.

good grief.

i just ordered a bubble to live in

Been type 1 for about 5 years. You're type 1 also, I assume? Is there anything BESIDES injection therapy for type 1s?!

You know, I never took a flu shot either, but last year I got the flu for the first time in years and had some breathing problems that really scared me. So I definitely took the normal flu shot this year, and I'm fairly certain I'm getting the H1N1 vaccine as well. The thing you gotta remember about these horror stories (which are few and far between) is that there are thousands of people who die from the normal flu every year... But the news isn't really talking about them because it's not very sensational sounding.
