I don't get either. I have asthma (allergy related) and I still don't
bother with pneumonia vaccine. I never get flu shots as I'm allergic to
eggs and therefore allergic to vaccine. I think the vaccine is basically
worthless as they merely "guess" which one will be this year's strain. If
you aren't around a lot of people, don't get either. I am not a vaccine nut
anyway. Yes, I do believe in children's vaccines but my son was paralyzed
for 24 hours from his vaccines (the 3rd in the series). Found out that in
some cases that remains permanent. The way to prevent it is to give it in
half doses at two week intervals, but they never tell parents that because
"only" about 300-400 children a year are permanently paralyzed. Well, damn,
if it was my kid it would be 100%!! I was so pissed! I had never heard of
that until it happened to my son. Then, when he was around 7 years old
there was a story on 60 minutes about it and a kid who was permanently
paralyzed. Anyway, I digress, I am just cautious about all this "jump for
joy" over vaccines, especially this new one for HPV for young girls. They
have no idea what this does to them. Great if it prevents cervical cancer,
but what about their development, giving it at such a young age. No long
term studies, etc. Scary and haven't there been some deaths from it
already?

How scary. I agree, the "small" number of adverse events doesn't seem
to be of any particular concern unless it is their child falling into
that number. I had never heard of that either.

As for the HPV vaccine, you can count my niece as one of the stats
that fits into their syncope category, which doesn't seem to be of any
big concern. She even passed out again 2 days later playing softball
and says she hasn't felt right since.
