I had mine a few days ago, through my center. I already got the 'normal' flushot a few weeks ago, and decided to get this one too.
No side effects so far, unless a sore arm for a few days, and one day feelling a bit tired.
I asked my doc about it, he decided the benefits outweighted the risks.

My dear daughter

I got my H1N1 shot today with no problems.  My whole family got it because we figured that I would be high risk for complications from a flu.  So far no one has had any problems, but my daughter will be going back next month for a second dose of the flu mist.

If I wasn't on dialysis and in perfect health, I honestly think that I would forgo the vaccination and just take my chances.  I can't take the risk with my health as it is, but I understand being skeptical of the panic surrounding this flu season.
