Swine Flu Vaccines!
When do you think the Swine Flu vaccine will be available in the Houston area?
Do you all get Flu Shots every year? I do!

That's the 64,000 question. From what I've read, vaccinations will be ready for distribution by September-early October. Hopefully they can speed things up and start an immunization program before school starts. Yes, I take a Flu vaccine every year. This year will be no exception. I'll take my chances with vaccine related injuries as opposed to getting seriously ill with H1N1. |

They might jack up the prices. $50 a shot with no insurance.

camon!! this H1N1 thing is just a Hoax for people with money to spend it. Does anybody know anyone infected? or anyone who knew anyone that knew someone... For god sake a LOT more people will die because of the normal flu!! but why should anyone bother if they still cannot afford a flu shot.

I agree. They are not even testing people for the H1N1 any more, at the request of the Federal Government I might add. So why should we all spend the money on a shot for a virus that may not even be as prevalent in the community any more? That's just ridiculous. People are so gullible. |

Yeah ok. Tell that to the 12 children in my daycare that have all tested positive for H1N1. They ARE still testing. I know more people who have tested positive than I care to. The symptoms are horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I think it sucks royally that nobody that WANTS flu shots can get them.

Actually yes...I know 5 people, personally, who have had the swine flu. Additionally, 2 close friends have friends who are attending funerals for their friends who have lost children to H1N1.  I'm not going to argue to merits--perceived or otherwise--of the vaccine, but swine flu is real, and while people die of the regular flu as well, H1N1 seems to be less predictable. |

I wonder if the same people who created the Virus are also setup to profit from the vaccine?
