I heard that Swine flu vaccine is available in U.S. I wonder how many have planned get vaccinated. Unfortunately the vaccine wont be available in India for sometime.It will be probably available only by march 2010.

Before anyone gets the vaccine, here are some articles you should read: Baxter (one main company resposnible for the vaccines): Product contained live bird flu virus (Canada Paper reprots): http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2009/02/27/8560781.html Scientific American: http://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/post.cfm?id=first-h1n1-vaccines-to-arrive-tuesd-2009-10-02 The New York State Nurses Association, however, is protesting the idea, asserting that although getting the vaccine should be encouraged, flu immunizations should not be "a condition of employment." "This confusion extends to the Department of Health itself. Callers to DOH have been told that the mandate is a law and if they object to it they should call their legislators. We have talked to legislators, and of course they had nothing to do with this regulation – not yet, anyway."
