This video discusses the benefits and concerns of the H1N1 vaccine through an illuminating discussion between Dr. Jennifer Ashton, CBS news correspondent and Barbara Loe Fisher, National Vaccine Information Center. The vaccine in question has been severely fast tracked. CBS sources at the NIH believe that H1N1 is the fastest development of a vaccine. Thus, a vaccine may be licensed without the normal safety regulations in place.
The WHO has indicated that 30 to 50% of people exposed to Swine Flew have mild or no symptoms at all. Most people clear the virus on their own with out complications. The discussion encourages parents to weigh the risk and benefits of vaccinating.
