Seasonal Flu Vaccine Shortage - Swine Flu (H1N1) Updates
The National Ledger ^ | October 10, 2009 | Wendy Cook

Posted on 10/17/2009 5:28:16 PM PDT by joesjane

Is there a shortage of seasonal flu vaccination? The Swine flu (H1N1) vaccine is slow getting to many parts of the US (the first doses of swine flu vaccine in the U.S. were given to health-care workers and children this week) and seasonal flu vaccine is also running short in some parts of the country.

obama and the dems want to run the entire health care system yet they can't even deliver a flu vaccine? They had months to prepare for this and they still can't get it right. There's your sign.

Maybe I’m crazy, but how can this vaccine help when the flu is already here? It seems like I’ve always heard it takes 3 weeks or so to build up immunity.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not an H1N1 supporter....I don’t work in the medical field. All I am saying is they can’t even efficiently distribute a vaccine.

prbably should have alluded to that in the title. I would ask the moderator to change it but I have no idea how to do that!

Great! Then I won't be under pressure to get it. I need to update my tetanus shot, but if I go in for that, they'll want me to get the flu shot too.

I have my doubts about this vaccine. The Flu Epidemic of 1918 killed millions, but the Influenza Virus burned itself out when enough people developed immunity. At least half a century elapsed before the next true epidemimc. Then, with the advent of flu vaccines, it SEEMS that there is a NEW mutation every year or so, each one worse than the last.

Is it presumptuous of me to extrapolate from these “coincidences” that maybe, just PERHAPS, our vaccines are encouraging the Influenza Virus to MUTATE to BIGGER and MORE RESISTANT strains EVERY TIME we come up with a vaccine?

Just askin’ .

Demand an independant investigation! I can’t wait to see what type of “communities” the vaccine is delivered to.

According to Fox, over 60 children have died within the USA due to the swine flu....... and it’s just getting started.

This is ANOTHER OBAMA FAILURE.
