Yes. No or Don’t Know. While the first batches of vaccine will start to arrive in the autumn it will take several months to get enough vaccine for everyone. It will also take time to fully test the vaccine and to organise the vaccination of everyone in the country.

To be honest with you, it doesn’t bother me at all.
I’m not counting on it coming out any time soon. Like you said, the vaccine would have to be put through rigorous testing in order for it to be guaranteed that it does clear the disease. This can take months, or years even in some cases. You do not want a rushed vaccine, chances are that it may not work. The bad thing about waiting though is that by the time it comes out the flu may have changed so it can act around the vaccine and protect itself, mutate even.
To be honest because I am fairly healthy I would much prefer to contract it now whilst it is in a mild form and build up antibodies against a possible more virulent strain that may emerge later.
To be honest, I’m more afraid of the vaccine then I am of the virus.
Swine flu is pretty much harmless, and just the fact that so much hysteria has built up around it, makes me think the whole thing was an excuse to get everyone vaccinated when they didn’t need to be.
There have been cases of vaccines containing female reproductive hormones, causing women to become sterile, particularly in Africa, so I wouldn’t put it passed them to sneak something into the vaccine intentionally.
Vaccine for what? Where are the tens of thousands or even thousands of deaths?
The real reason for the phony vaccine is to develop the NWO. For example pharmacists in Western nations are being trained to give injections.
They are going to be needed when the “mark of the Beast” is injected into everyone because there are not enough doctors to do the job.
I wont be asking for the vaccine.
And these help lines they have set up are going to be abused by idiots..they will ring up with symptoms and ask for Tamiflu (im tlaking about people who are panicking and want the drugs so are making up their symptoms)..what these people dont realise is that Tamiflu isnt a preventative medicine and will not work. You have to actually have the virus for it to be effective. If they do take it and dont have the virus, then when they do get it the Tamiflu wont work as their body will have already processed it against nothing1
Instead of scaremongering and panicking everyone they need to be honest with us and stop with all the conflicting reports and suggestions.
they say september time but i doubt it!
and flu vaccines are notoriously sh!te anyway!
Yes
I do not know & do not care has i am not having the vaccine.I have read up a lot on other vaccines & do not trust them.
I’m not sure if I’m optimistic, but I’m slightly hopeful. I’ve been suffering from asthma since birth (I’m in college now) and I’m right at the front of the line for a vaccine if one is proven safe. There has been study done (reported on the BBC) that shows that H1N1 goes deeper into the lungs than the regular flu, which increases the chance for developing pneumonia. I’ve had pneumonia enough times, and been to the hospital enough times to know that being in a risk group makes H1N1 dangerous for me.
Wont be having any vaccine.

I am optimistic about the success of a vaccine for swine flu. I really believe this could help alleviate the effects of the virus and stop it from spreading rapidly during the upcoming flu season this fall. Starting in August, the U.S. will begin a nationwide study to test an experimental vaccine on over 1,000 volunteers, and many countries around the world are conducting their own studies.
I think it will take longer than they say- it always does! it’s just sods law.
Swine flu, oh noes!
Two biotechnology companies have started injecting adult volunteers in the southern city of Adelaide with their vaccines.

Some experts said that the real problem is not the H1N1 virus but the swine flu Vaccine that has not been fully tested yet.
Perhaps the biggest concern is the speed at which the vaccine is being rushed out. Research for my book, The Truth about Vaccines, taught me how vaccines are increasingly being released on to the market with little testing of either safety or effectiveness, against infections that are rarely the threat that the Department of Health or pharmaceutical companies (who are finding the vaccine business an increasingly lucrative market) claim.
To be properly tested for safety a vaccine needs to be given to tens of thousands of people and followed up for several months to detect uncommon but serious side-effects. This is clearly not going to happen with the swine flu vaccine, which is being fast-tracked at unprecedented speed. The little safety testing that does occur is likely to be in healthy people, and not those with health problems who are in greatest need of the vaccine, but probably also at greatest risk from side-effects.
We have experience of mass vaccination against swine flu from which lessons should be learnt. In America in 1976 a vaccine was offered to the whole population to prevent the spread of an epidemic of swine flu. Millions were rapidly immunised, but the vaccination campaign was stopped after a rise in cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) among recipients of the vaccine. GBS is an autoimmune disorder that causes paralysis of the arms or legs or, rarely, the whole body; the sufferer usually makes a complete recovery, but some suffer permanent paralysis and a few die. Research later estimated that there was one case of GBS caused by every 100,000 swine flu vaccines given. If the current vaccine caused a similar rate of cases, then we could expect hundreds of people to get GBS, some of whom will suffer permanent paralysis or die.
