f you've been waiting to get a swine flu shot, here's your chance.

New Hampshire Public Health Director Dr. Jose Montero announced yesterday that anyone over the age of 6 months may receive a swine flu vaccine. The shot had previously been limited to people in high-risk groups, such as pregnant women, health care workers and those with a serious health condition.

"The supply has caught up with the demand and allowed us to move forward," said Montero. "I know it has been difficult to wait, but it has been the right thing to do to protect the people of highest risk."

Inconvenient timing, especially with the current pressure to pass 'something' for health care?

Here, in Montana, this was recently in the news: (para) 'most who died [18] from the H1N1 has pre-existing conditions'.

I hear they’re handing out free buggy whips with those vaccines.

Which will be done along with the census takers? (whom I've seen pre-walking with the mail delivery folk, but the mail was delivered earlier on those days -- unintended consequences?)
