swine flu vaccine for pregnant women

In the first edition of my blog I would like to share something that deeply disturbs me as a pregnant woman.

The swine flu vaccine.......

According to the CDC pregnant women are a high risk group and should be the first to line up and get the flu vaccine. After a little research I found some shocking information in the actual product inserts for the two types of vaccines available for H1N1.


This is the product info for one version of the shot (sec. 8 says it was not tested on pregnant animals or women and should not be given to pregnant women because of unknown potential harms on the baby)

this is the product insert for the mist version (also not tested on pregnant women sec.8 again AND contains mercury)

Why is the government insisting that we run to the nearest wal*mart, target, pharmacy or doctor to get a shot that is untested and not even recommended by the companies that make these vaccines? I am afraid to know the answer
