Will you get the H1N1 vaccination?

Just wanted to see where some of your heads were concerning the H1N1 vaccine, and I guess flu vaccines in general.
I can't recall ever getting a flu shot my entire adult life. Maybe I did long ago but can't remember. For the most part I hardly ever get sick. Maybe once every several years or so but not hardly ever thank the Lord!
I have no plans to get the flu shot or the H1N1 vaccine because I just simply am not convinced that it does any good. I do however have a concern for my 17yr old disabled child with Cerebral Palsy because he could literally die from exposure to this virus. (At least that's what my RN wife tells me.) Of course Branden is vulnerable to a whole host of viruses and diseases that probably wouldn't effect most healthy people at all. So we are always super cautious when we come and go from the house, using hand sanitizer and such.
The wife and kids get the flu vaccine every year and they sometimes still get sick! They just got the regular flu mist (branden got the shot) just last week and the wife said as soon as the H1N1 vac. is ready she and the kids are going to get it. I guess I'm ok with that. I mean I am not totally against them getting it I just know for me, I don't want it. And unless my wifes convinces me otherwise I probably wont get it.
What about you?
