Yeah, I feel the same way regarding being forgotten. We can't even get H1N1 down here yet so it's a moot point for me, but I'm getting the seasonal shot tomorrow at least. Ironic since I think this state was the place with the most cases. Or maybe just after California. Something about sharing a border with Mexico. Sigh.
I figure babies are not addressed because they cannot receive this vaccine. So nothing there to discuss really. And I think you and I just qualify as adults in whatever age category we happen to fall into (by which I mean breastfeeding teenagers are just teenagers, and you and I are just adults). I don't think the breastfeeding thing has any affect on us with regard to the vaccine. I'm hoping it might confer some resistance to our children, but probably not. Still, better for them if we're not getting sick right?
