Swine Flu Vaccine Fears Debunked
Is the swine flu vaccine necessary and safe? We asked the experts to address common concerns. "These are urban myths and you can't even track them down," said Greg Poland, Director of the Mayo Clinic's Vaccine Research Group in Rochester, Minn. "Someone says something that spreads virally from person to person and becomes truth in their minds." Here are expert answers to some of the most common concerns. Concern #1: Swine flu is no big deal. It's just another example of media hype. Answer: H1N1 is a new strain of influenza that is significantly different from flu viruses that have circulated in previous years. As a result, doctors are seeing a larger than normal number of serious complications, including pneumonia and bacterial infections. They are seeing more cases and more complications than usual in healthy young people. And swine flu is hitting hard unusually early.
