I also heard that this year has more strains than usual not covered.
I still got the flu shot for both the 21month old and the 4 year old. I skipped it this year even though I am a teacher. I might regret it later. I am trying to wash my hands in my class room sink more than usual and not touch my face or eyes.
My mom told me that all growing up. "Don't touch your face! That will get you sick" I used to roll my eyes. Now I think she was on to something
Slightly off topic but I actually have a very small part of me that wonders if H1N1 had any influence on DS' s delays. I had it only a few weeks before finding out I was pregnant. I don't think it does but even my family brought it up one time.
I used to work with a guy that was completely deaf. He told me that his mom had measles when she was pregnant with him. They attributed his deafness to that.

Total anecdote but I had h1n1 shot during my first pregnancy. He's my typical kid.
