I also have adult onset asthma and choose not to get the vaccine. However, I got an ELISA blood test and as with most people, it was food allergies/intolerances. Traditional doctors would rather give pills and inhalers to asthmatics rather than look at the root. I was a horrible asthmatic until I pulled many food groups out of my diet. Now, no pills.

Yes, as far as getting the flu "once a year" I generally get a 24 hour bug. This swine flu is clearly hitting very young people which is really weird, as flus typically attack the elderly.

They say that 30-40% of people here in AZ will get the swine flu. That is pretty scarey, but not enough for me to get the vaccine.
