I asked my Oncologist, a woman I have definately come to admire and respect, if she thought I should get the H1Ni. I get the regular every year. She said she could not advise me what to do but she, personally, is not going to get it. Her opinion was that it was being put together too quickly to objectively evaluate it. I will get my regular flu shot but pass on the H1N1. If I get the flu, and survive, I'll get back to you!
