I find it difficult to believe that an organisation such as the DBU has no internet presence - more information about the source please!

I sort of feel that I may be in a damned if I do, damned if I don't position. Both my roommate and myself have to be in crowded public places frequently, so it will be hard to limit exposure. I have untreatable asthma due to my MCS and am allergic to most antibiotics, so getting swine flu could be problematic, as could the shot, because of the chemical composition. Any suggestions? What is the MCS community advocating regarding for the US vaccines?

It is that adjuvant which is of concern to those warning against the use of Pandemrix®. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory?id=8937059 Here is the reasoning given by the European Medicines Agency for allowing it into the European market http://www.emea.europa.eu/influenza/vaccines/pandemrix/pandemrix.html Here is the response by Glaxo, the manufacturer of Pandemrix®,to the decision of the European Medicines Agency http://www.gsk.com/media/pressreleases/2009/2009_pressrelease_10089.htm But there are a lot of concerns about Pandemrix® in the countries where it's allowed http://clareswinney.wordpress.com/2009/10/23/german-medical-association-warns-against-giving-pandemrix-to-young-children-pregnant-women/ Hope that clarifies things a bit better.

My daughter, 27 years old and 17 weeks pregnant didn't get it in time before she ended up in bed for days on end with the illness. Though she suffered, I feel selfishly happy that she didn't get the shot. With no confirmed knowledge of the aftereffects of the vaccine, it's difficult to know what to expect for the fetus. Years ago the medication that was given to women to reduce the nausea during pregnancy turned out to be a disaster for the children who ended up deformed, and worse.

If not, does the U.S. vaccine contain the same ingredients? I don't ask for myself, because I quit getting any vaccines several years ago when I had a bad reaction. But I have family members who jump at every vaccine that comes along and I would like to give them accurate information about what is being used in the U.S. They won't listen to me but they will listen to good science.
