Any suggestions for me? H1N1 vaccine?

I'am frustrated with a matter and need some advice! As a nursing student, I will be starting clinical rotations in 2 weeks in the ER, ICU, medsurge, and pediatric departments. I feel as if I have a moral obligation to protect my patients from things I may be exposed to and our school AND the hospitals we are doing rotations at are not offering us the swine flu vaccine. And the state I reside in are completely out. Being on the priority list I feel as if either our school or the hospital (that offers the vaccine to their employees) should protect us better. If we do come down with it our school will not let us miss more than one day of nursing school or we will have to retake the semester. So chances are people who are still infectious will be sitting next to us coughing up a storm in lecture! I feel we are in an unfair position. Any suggestions? And please no advice on the H1N1 vaccine, Im getting it if I can Ive seen too many people last semester in the ICU die from it to not risk the small chances of adverse reactions. Thanks.
