I am not anti-vaccine either for diseases that commonly cause death or long term disability, but the H1N1 vaccine strikes me as a bad idea for a number of reasons:
1) The H1N1 death total is tiny compared to seasonal flu. It seems to be very contagious but not very deadly ie. more like a cold. That makes the "reward" side of the vaccine risk/reward equation look a lot worse.
2) The vaccine is new, and rushed, and there have been disturbing reports. That has to increase the "risk" side.
3) There certainly seems to be a media trend towards unfounded flu panics of late. I'm not interested in playing along.
