H1N1 is not a super deadly pandemic that a lot of idiots think it is. That being said, there is a reason why the vaccination is good. In Mexico City, when the virus first started becoming headline news, many people were getting sick and therefore staying at home. This had devastating effects on the economy. The purpose of the vaccine is so that you don't have to stay at home recovering. The same thing could happen with the regular flu, but everyone is already vaccinated against that. That's why the vaccine is important.
