Day in the life: With swine flu becoming more prevalent, should pregnant women vaccinate?

It seems americans are split when it comes to deciding whether or not to vaccinate themselves during flu season. There are many reasons behind the choice to vaccinate or not to vaccinate, some are based on fact and research and others are based on myth. Regardless of your stance, one thing you do need to know is that this flu season the H1N1 strand of the flu or the "swine flu," is most prevalent. Swine Flu Symptoms include cough, fever, sore throat, stuffy or runny nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms you should see your docotor immediately. But, if you want to prevent yourself from getting the flu altogether, doctors recommend you get the flu shot as soon as possible. Those most at risk this flu season are children, the elderly, young adults and pregnant women. My story focuses on the latter and why so many of them aren't getting the vaccination. I spoke about stand ups in a previous post, take a look at the one I did in this story and tell me what you think.
