Today, October 15th, is Global Handwashing Day, which encourages children to clean their hands with soap. Yay, handwashing! With soap!

Let the Wiggles show your kids the importance of getting those hands clean.

Here on the Daily Buzz, we've been giving you lots of information on the H1N1 virus.

But it's always good to get information from as many sources as possible, so here are some links I love

A CafeMom friend asked me the other day why the Daily Buzz is talking about the swine flu so much. Really good question! I had to think on that a bit.

It has nothing to do with being pro or con, but rather confusion over the mixed messages about the risks from the vaccine versus the illness itself. So, the more we talk it through and look at it from all angles, the greater the hope that we can figure out what works best for our own families and kids.

I think Neonds13, owner of the Educate Before You Vaccinate group, summed it up best in her recent Healthy Living Buzz interview:

We all have our personal opinion on the swine flu vaccination -- and I think it's great there is dialogue going on about something as important as this.

I met a CafeMom who is 26 weeks pregnant and has decided to get the H1N1 shot. Her brother, sister, and 2 year-old daughter all have the virus. She has decided to remain anonymous. Here are her thoughts and opinions....

All this week we've been talking to CafeMoms about whether or not their family will receive the H1N1 vaccine to prevent the swine flu.

AmyTuteurMD, an obstetrician gynecologist and mom of four, disagreed with some of the information in our posts. She runs AskDr.Amy.com, Open Salon, and The Skeptical OB, writing primarily about childbirth, home birth, and alternative health. I asked her to share her thoughts with us.

I'm asking CafeMoms to talk about whether or not their family will receive the H1N1 vaccine to prevent the swine flu. Today, Science_Spot shares her opinion: Although she is pro-vaccine, she will not get the H1N1 vaccine. And, her reasons have nothing to do with its safety...

I'm still undecided about getting my kids vaccinated against the Swine Flu, but as I was scheduling my daughter's annual physical the other day, I decided to ask the nurse what our pediatrician's office recommended.

She said it's still too early to tell. They don't even have it yet, don't know when or if they will, or who will get it. For right now, she's only advising and scheduling for the regular flu shot.

Well, at least that gives me more time to deliberate on this very important topic. Because like you the Daily Buzz bloggers have lots of questions and concerns regarding ourselves and our own kids, we've been following this topic closely in our Swine Flu Guide.

Which do you think is scarier: The number of swine flu deaths reported by the media? Or the fact that the H1N1 vaccine (first doses go out today), which the government is encouraging everyone to get, is so new?

There's so much information out there and so much panic that some moms are confused about how to make a good decision about whether to get the shot. I asked Neonds13, group owner of Educate Before You Vaccinate, to explain why she will not be getting the H1N1 vaccine.
