H1N1 vaccine needs more study

In 2000, my wife and I received regular flu shots. Unfortunately, we got sick instead of not getting the flu. We got it, maybe from our jobs. My wife and I agreed not to take another flu shot again.
Frankly, I don't think the Centers for Disease Control should put the public in such a panic or scare. Without all the facts on H1N1, example what are the ingredients, taking the shot with existing health conditions. Our grandson recently got the H1N1 flu shot and less than 24 hours later he was sick at home.
I think the H1N1 vaccination needs more scientific study before given, in addition to more facts being released to the public.
