Which Swine Flu Vaccine is the LEAST Dangerous?

[Guest guest]

My sister works in the health care profession and they are insisting

she must get the swine flu vaccine in order to work. She lives and

works in Wisconsin. I told her to be absolutely sure this is true

AND to hold out as long as possible if it is true. She insists on

going through with it. My question to this group is which vaccine is

the least dangerous? Here is my summary of the five. (If someone has

compiled a better summary I would appreciate getting a copy.)

Baxter International - formaldehyde inactivated virus vaccine grown

in Green Monkey Vero cell lines;

GlaxoKline – viral antigens with adjuvant ASO3 that has

thimerosal and squalene among other things;

Novartis – inactivated virus vaccine grown in Green Monkey Vero

Cells, with an oil-based adjuvant MF59 containing squalene and other

things.

Sanofi-Aventis – consists of sterile preservative free suspension

prepared from influenza viruses propagated in chicken eggs. The virus-

containing fluids are harvested and inactivated with formaldehyde;

AstroZeneca's vaccine arm, Medimmune, makes a live attenuated virus

vaccine using Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell line, or egg, and

delivered as a nasal spray

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
