What are your opinions on the swine flu vaccine?

Swine flu and school starting what to do?

• Have 3 kids with asthma and concerned that kids may come in contact with swine flu. They normally ride a very crowded bus to school but knowing how this thing is spreading, I need to delay them from coming in contact with it until the vaccine is offered. Should I drive them to school to help them avoid it or should I not be so worried about it. My kids have been taught well as far as hand washing, covering mouth etc but many of these children that ride the bus with my kids are sometimes sent to school filthy with snotty noses(I've seen it a million times.) I do know that it's not that serious but isn't asthma one of the risk factors for complications? Just a little scared and need opinions.

• Answer:

  just have your kids use hand sanitizer often and make sure they are aware of their surroundings. tell them to avoid anyone with flu-like symptoms. you should not worry unless your children develop a very high fever. If they do, bring them to the doctor's office immediately to have them tested for influenza A (at least i think it's influenza A) hope this helps! good luck!
