Technically, it's not a shot, it's a nasal spray.

It's also not widely available, and is intended primarily for certain high risk groups (of which I am not one, apparently).

That said:

Don't vacillate, VACCINATE!

Oh, I thought I heard that you might be able to get one in each arm...I could be wrong. Just make sure you do it, people! Don't give those little fuckers the chance to mutate!

Bing, I got a checkup literally two days ago, and my doctor told me that if he had the vaccine in his office right at that moment he himself would NOT take it. It isn't even available in New Orleans as H1N1 has made no significant showing here. Also, unlike regular flu it is NOT seasonal; you don't have to get vaccinated by Nov. 1 or it's too late. There's time to wait, see if there are serious side effects, track the spread and seriousness of this strain, and take it when it's prudent. So right now let the available doses go to the children who need it the most. Remember: DON'T PANIC!!

This is the advice I am going on, more or less. They are safe vaccines, they work and your vaccine covers my ass too.

But I'm not panicked.

Right on, Bing.

Oh, and I stand correct. There is an injection available as well.

(That's what she said???)
