Will You Get the H1N1 Swine Flu Shot? Should You?

Over the past several weeks, you may have seen news reports urging "high risk" groups to get H1N1 swine flu shots. Pregnant women fall into the category of "high risk" for swine flu, and so a logical question is, what about those not yet pregnant, but trying? Should they also get the shot?

While not considered a high risk group, the American Society of Reproductive Medicine and the CDC seem to think those trying to get pregnant should get the H1N1 flu shot whenever it becomes available to non-high risk groups in your area. The logic is that it's better to get it now, before you become pregnant.

Of course, just because they recommend the shot doesn't mean you have to get the shot. It's a choice to make. Some fertility clinics are requiring IVF patients to get the shot before treatment, but from what I understand, it's not that common. Mostly, it's being strongly recommended.

Do you plan on getting the H1N1 swine flu shot? Take our poll, and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below. I'd love to hear from you!
