H1N1 vaccine

Hi, i just wanted to see if any mom has any feedback regarding the swine flu shot. I'm feeling a little hesitant to get the shot for my 4 months old boy yet i'm worried that if i don't what if he catches it. There's been so many stories about how the vaccine was rushed and in some cases people got bad side effect especially that girl who can't walk and talk properly. Would greatly appreciate some feedback on this topic.

Anna-
My daughter's pediatrician told me to wait until she is 6 months old and that's what I did. He also said if he had to pick the regular flu or swine flu shot, he'd say the swine flu shot was way more important. Just check to make sure it's a preservative-free shot. I don't know about your area, but where I live the county health department is giving the shots out free to residents.
Hope this helped, sorry it's so long after you posted but I just joined!
