While Dr. Oz recommends that everyone get the annual flu shot or mist, he’s less certain about recommending the vaccine for the H1N1 virus (otherwise known as swine flu). Indeed, many people seem unsure about getting the vaccination since its development seems a little rushed.
Oz told News 4 WOAI the following: "I don’t want to make a commitment on that until we see the final data” and added that the fact that many people died in the 1970s from a relatively untested vaccine more than they did from the actual disease is a “good reason why people should hold off until we have more information."
Dr. Oz has four children of his own so I really respect his opinion when it comes to this type of thing since he’s got a vested interest in it. I’m sure if he felt the vaccine was safe, he’d make sure his kids were protected.
"You’ve got to think of this like a hurricane warning," explained Dr. Oz. "We’re not saying, ‘Panic! Bad things are happening.’ Something is coming at us. You can choose how you respond."
I think this is good advice. It’s important to be prepared and try to be proactive about the situation but panicking is probably not going to help. A level-headed approach to practicing good hygiene, getting enough rest and eating well is also very important to staying healthy.
