There are some people who have had some harsh allergic reactions to it.
Sad to hear. But i wouldnt trust it until its been out for more than 6 - 8 months.

i've decided not to get it at all.
the mortality rate for h1n1 is lower than that of the common flu.
its been found to be between .007 and .048% in some studies

well it's a preventative measure. for example, dying from hep B and varicella (chicken pox) is really low now because of available vaccines. however, if you don't take the vaccine, then you're susceptible to these diseases. i'll be in healthcare so it's mandatory for me, but if you're dealing with a lot of people, i don't think it would hurt to take the vaccine.

It's also important to note that, the decision to getting the h1n1 shot is not all about whether you want to protect yourself or not, but it's also about preventing the spread of the disease to the population....

Kendall said B.C. has submitted at least 232 reports of moderate to serious adverse reactions in 176 people (some had multiple symptoms) to the Public Health Agency of Canada.

The 232 adverse events, associated with 1.3 million vaccinations, also included severe pain, fevers accompanied by other symptoms like seizures, and joint pain.
