I wouldnt bother with the Swine flu vaccine, unless you absolutely cannot afford to get sick and take a week off school or work. That is the real danger. Not working for a week and losing your apartment if you live paycheck to paycheck, or messing up a school semester during midterms. Death is not a realistic threat to most people.
Here is the thing about swine flu though.....a small number of people have a severe auto-immune reaction to it. However, the people who have that reaction to the virus might also have that reaction to the vaccine, especially the nasal mist vaccine, but a little milder (still potentially life threatening). So if you happen to be one of those unlucky people, its a choice between definitely getting exposed or possibly getting exposed and it being worse.
Usually only infants or the elderly or the immune compromised will die from the flu, and young healthy adults have little to worry about....however, if you are one of these rare allergic individuals, you can be at risk from the virus OR from the vaccine even if you are in your prime and you will have to go to the hospital to treat symptoms of shock.
We have already seen this reaction in the H1N1 nasal mist, and we may also see it in the dead injected virus, or perhaps some more cases of Guillian barr syndrome.
