Originally it was spreading faster in Mexico where the first outbreak began, but after it started spreading into the US, the infection rate slowed in Mexico and it began spreading much faster with more people contracting the virus in the US. As of early December 2009, the rate of spread is still slightly higher in the US but it is about the same in most of North America at this time. Epidemiologists are predicting a third wave will likely hit around the first of the year in the Northern Hemisphere with another increase in the rates of infection.

Would anyone tell me about the dangers of the flu vaccine and why is it safer not to get children vaccinated?
If you already have H1N1 virus in your body and is about to get sick anyway it can be, because you then get a double dose. That's how all vaccines works. There haven't been enough time top test the vaccine on ppl under the age of 18. But the risk of getting it is higher then if you don't get vaccinated. H1N1 spreads 4 times faster then a normal flu. So it's safer to have your children vaccinated.

Is there anything your small kids can take to help prevent H1N1 other than the vaccine?
No, only a vaccination can prevent the flu. Children can take the injectable vaccinations for H1N1/09 if over 6 months old. Kids 2 years or older can take the nasal mist vaccinations if they are otherwise healthy. Small children are in the higher risk groups for complications from both the seasonal flu and A-H1N1/09. Clinical trials prior to the approval of the four H1N1 vaccines that are available in the US, proved them safe and effective by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The A-H1N1/09 vaccines are made the same way as all modern flu vaccines are and the incidence of adverse effects has been very low over these decades. If you are concerned about using the vaccines in children, speak to their Pediatricians. The majority of the medical community is encouraging the use of the vaccines to all who can take them, because they believe the risk of the flu is greater than the risk of any problems with the vaccine.
