In an effort to clear up myths and fears about the new swine flu vaccine, WGAL-TV recently spoke to Dr. John Goldman, Chairman of Infection Control for PinnacleHealth in Harrisburg.

In his interview with WGAL, Dr. Goldman stressed the fact that you cannot get swine flu from the swine flu vaccine.  He also said that fears about the vaccine being unsafe because it is new are unfounded, because it is being manufactured in the same manner as seasonal flu vaccines have been each year.

Watch the interview with Dr. Goldman to learn more, including whether or not it’s safe to get the swine flu vaccine along with the seasonal flu shot.
