I'm in Norway, and there's plenty around for anyone who wants it. There's this huge banner hanging on the wall of the town hall urging people to take the vaccine. I have never seen anything like it in my life. However people are different, some take it very calm and don't bother, some get the shot. There has never been any question of forced or mandatory vaccinations, even for nurses. For nurses it's recommended that they take the vaccines yearly, because of contamination hazard for weak patients.

I wonder what we really know about the vaccine? If all of them are contaminated, what effect it has is still an open question. My sister is a nurse, she got the flue shot very early. Most doctors and nurses in her unit hesitated to take the vaccine until they had two cases where a 18 year old and a 40 year old spent a week in artificial respiration. Both of them were healthy and there was no indication that the virus should hit them this hard. After these two patients most if not all nurses and doctors have had the vaccine there. The rest of the population are different, depending on how easily they fall for TV and radio propaganda. A lot of people have had the vaccine, usually I hardly hear of anyone taking flue shots.

Temporary stations for vaccination has been set up, and have been there for a few weeks now. Vaccination costs 50 NKr I believe, (about 8$, 6€?) In my town there has hardly been any waiting in line, as they made distribution of the vaccination very efficient.

However I am rather worried. My whole family has had the flue shot. First my sister because she is a nurse. She had two days of nausea and fever like sweat after the shot. Suddenly my mother and father was given time of work to get the shot at one of the vaccination stations, and even my brother who never bothers about vaccines got the shot a week before he had a vacation on the Canary Islands.

Is there any proof of the damaging effects of this vaccine? I suppose we don't know until spring or summer arrives.
