But I haven't heard or read what it is, so I'm having a hard time deciding if it is safe for me to have the shot or not. It being new and not knowing the bad long term side effects is worrisom as well. I have rhuematoid arthritis , which means I have no immune system from the medication. where can I get the right information to help me decide what is safe. My doctor can only tell me either i take it or don't, it's up to me. Right now I'm just trying to stay home and hope for the best. Hopefully nobody will come to my home that has had contact with h1n1 and can infect me. Why isn't there better information available? It's not like this is a new virus that has never been incountered!!! Apparently there must be a dangerous side effect to the mercury based vaccine.
