the effects of the preparations and additional ingredients and the state of health of the person being vaccinated. We are yet to find out what will be in the H1n1 vaccine in Australia. It will most likely be an attenuated vaccine which take a living agent and alter it so that it becomes less virulent. These vaccines contrast to those produced by killing the virus (inactivated).This concerns many people.as there is a risk of a secondary mutation that can cause a reversion to virulence of the virus or that it may still be able to cause disease, particularly in immune compromised patients

Most media outlets are saying that the virus attacks our most vulnerable, children worst. This is not true if you do you reading you will find that it has been most mild so far in children.

Getting a vaccine, they insist, will protect you from the swine flu. But its just flat-out false. Even if the vaccine produces antibodies, that’s not the same thing as real-world immunity from a live virus, especially if the virus mutates (as they often do).

It can be said that China experimented and invented vaccination. It was recognised for centuries in China that some diseases never reinfect a person after recovery. Smallpox was the first disease people tried to prevent by intentionally inoculating themselves with infected matter.Initially powered skin from the infected sores was dried in the sun and put up the nose of healthy individuals. Inoculation originated in India or China some time before 200 BC.

Before Vaccination we need to consider some basic things:

• Age
• State of immune system
• Current health and state of inflammation
  

We can assess this will pulse and tongue diagnosis. History of autoimmune disease should be a warning to overall reactivity of body and potential for adverse reaction to immunisation.
