Does anyone know if swine flu vaccine is available in Turkey yet?

Apparently it's being tested and will be available in about 2 weeks.

Apparently the european version has some additives that the U.S. one doesn't and there was a debate on tv about it the other day, don't know which one turkey will get or if it really matters anyway!

Also my daughter has been told they will be getting injections at her school on Mon/Tues. (Ataturk Ilkogretim Fethiye)

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti unconcerned over swine flu outbreak

Quote
"I'm not worried", said the Italian. "The flu is not only on the pitch, it's everywhere. I'm not worried. We take all the precautions and we want to think about playing, that's it.

"I know very well what I have to do if I have the flu. It's not a medical prescription. It's my grandmother's prescription: milk and red wine. Fantastic."

So thats it - sorted [)]

there is a debate on about weather to take the vacine or not...i choose not and personally think its one big hype by the global rich drug companies to make money

According to paragraph 3, they're still testing the vaccines.

I work in the health sector and we are all being prioritised for vaccination, but as some of the other comments state, there are some questions about a) effectiveness and b) long term side effects, many of my colleagues, (and myself) have opted against having the vaccination pending further clinical trials, as one doctor explained at the end of the day it is "flu" and, in many cases can only be a serious problem if people have other underlying health problems, asked whether he was having the "jab" he said no.
