H1N1/swine flu vaccine?

Photobucket

I'm struggling with what to do on this one.  I've gottten the flu shot for the past 8 years and have had no issues.  Brett has gotten the regular flu shot along with his other 6 month vaccinations.  However, this ugly red-headed stepchild called the pig flu is a bit concerning.  There has already been one confirmed case at his daycare in the 4-5yr old room. 

Is it safe?  Is it necessary? Will it be effective?  Will the virus mutate leaving the vaccination totally useless? 

As of now, we are leaning towards "no" for the vaccine but we'll see how bad it gets at our high school and at the daycare.
