Health care workers H1N1 shots

Health care professionals: Will you get the H1N1 vaccine?

Most health care workers don't get the seasonal flu shot. And flu shots aren't required here in MN (unlike in New York this year).

So now there are two shots to consider. Will you get either? Why or why not? And what are you recommending to your patients?
