has gotten the nasal spray injection. After many days of contemplation I had decided that I would get my little guy the H1N1 vaccine and had him put on the list to get it when it was available. I got a call this morning to bring him in but then was told that unless a person has asthma or some other health related problems that would require them to only get the shot, a person would only be able to get the nasal spray. I have heard that the nasal spray is dangerous and that it should not be taken. Now I have done the research and there are many pro's and con's and basically you just have to decide for yourself. I was just wondering if any of you have or know someone whos child has had the nasal spray and if so how did they react to it? I know I'm probably making more out of this then I need to, but I am truly being torn apart by this. I feel like I am making life or death decisions regrding my 5 year old and I am literally coming apart at the seams here. I just don't know what to do. Please anyone have any advice. The doctors office says I need to decide soon as they have a very limited supply of vaccines.
My older kids do not want to get it and I guess that they are old enough to make up their own minds but I have to make the decision for Andrew and I really don't know what to do .
