I have posted before about how to avoid colds and flu, about the swine flu, and about the vaccine. Since there is a push in NYS to force all healthcare workers to get the swine flu vaccine, I thought it would be a good idea to revisit the topic.
They understand that it is a bad idea to make an untested vaccine mandatory.
The ingredient squalene is frightening. When injected, such as part of a vaccine, it is connected to the autoimmune disease guillain-barre syndrome and is implicated as being a contributor to Gulf War Syndrome. The ingredients aluminum and formaldehyde are not very good for your body either. People with egg allergies may also have issues because an egg base is used to develop the vaccine.
I also find it curious that pregnant women are told to get the vaccine, but in the vaccine insert it states that it may be hazardous to use in pregnant women.
One thing I would add that is not mentioned in these articles is a good quality probiotic. 60% of your immune system is associated with your digestive tract, and probiotics support this part of the immune system.
For starters, even state healthcare workers, including the NYS nurse's association, are protesting at Albany to keep the swine flu vaccine from being made mandatory.

To avoid getting sick, I suggest looking over some of my past posts on preventing colds and flu, and on vitamin D
