Half of Pregnant Women Declined the H1N1 Flu Vaccine in Montreal
However, the medical authorities say that these fears are unfounded. There is a growing body of knowledge supporting that the vaccine is beneficial for pregnant women. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the USA has reported that pregnant women have four times more serious complications from the swine flu than other people, which include hospitalizations and deaths. Since pregnant women represent only one percent of the general population and 6 percent are more likely to suffer from serious consequences, pregnant women are at a much higher risk than the general population to have severe reactions to swine flu. The World Health Association (WHO) examined pregnant women in 16 different countries who were vaccinated against the H1N1 virus and found the side affects to be minimal (less than .0001 percent).
