Are you worried about swine flu?

I'm not very worried about swine flu although because I’m allergic to egg I have to have a different jab. I haven't had it yet so I’m a bit worried as I’m more prone to it as I have got asthma and allergies.

I am worried about swine flu. I have had the jab and I advise all people offered it to take it remember CATCH IT BIN IT KILL IT.

Swine flu is a major issue if you got asthma because it effects people who are the weakest and when you got asthma you are prone to getting colds and viruses so you do worry a lot about getting swine flu but if I keep myself fit and use antibacterial then I will be fine. I heard about the swine flu vaccination and I will be booking one when they come available to asthmatic but although it is bad for us it is worse for pregnant women and older people so were not as bad off as some people.

I think that swine flu is a bad case because it is new, but now I have read about it I think that I am more relaxed about it and know that I have to do what I always do and keep up with medicines.

My mum and I both got really worried when we found out that swine flu was in the area in which we live. It made my life difficult because i suffer with my asthma and was really worried. I lost contact with some of my friends because swine flu was in the school I attend and I was scared I would get it as I have a low immune system.

When swine flu first came about I was very worried, especially to here that is was spreading rapidly. However when looking the flue up on the Internet I found out it wasn’t as bad the normal flue and all types of flue can kill you. After I heard it wasn’t as bad I was more relaxed about the topic. Even though I still carry anti-bacterial hand gel in my handbag wherever I go. Hopefully I wont catch it and I will get that new injection in time.

I'm not worried but my mum is. She is worried about me and my wee bro getting swine flu and tries to avoid places with it, but it's hit our town now so she keeps asking us ‘are we feeling ok?’ all time which is bit scary.
