The idea of testing a vaccine on children makes many parents squeamish. But for Amanda Strudwick, it was a chance for the Atlanta mother and nurse to protect her children and the nation from H1N1.
“There are children in school getting sick already,” Strudwick said. “If my children are vaccinated, it means hopefully that they won’t pass it along to somebody else who may have a lower immune system.”
Strudwick;s daughters Nina, 7, and Hannah, 9, are among 100 children participating in an H1N1 vaccine study being conducted at Emory University and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
