As a healthcare worker mandated to take this vaccine I could not have said this better. I had the virus already (although my health dept did not think it was serious enough to test for). I had my seasonal flu shot last year so it either didn't work or I had H1N1. I stayed home and recovered uneventfully. My doctor did not give me Tamiflu because I am healthy. Now I have the best type of immunity to protect my patients and t will be long lasting unlike the vaccine.
