Not enough vaccine? This is obamas katrina. one of many to come.Lets see our nation just got attacked by at least one terrorist, swine flu killing people, but who gets the injections first? the thugs down in guantamano! he has spent more money then all the presidents EVER, oh yea and if thats not bad enough the guy that comes up with the plan to fly planes into our buildings is sent a mile from the building to face a trial (even as he has pleaded guilty before a military tribunal) and where is our beloved president? half way around the world! Help take back this great country, get involved.

X-ray man, please educate yourself before ranting and raving on this forum. The President does not have anything to do with this. The reason that there are not enough flu vaccines to go around at this point, is the simple fact that it takes quite a long time to make. Scientists first have to determine what kind of influenza is most likely to be in the community. They then "grow" the vaccine in chicken eggs (which is why people who are allergic to eggs should not get the vaccine). This process simply takes time. The doses will be rolled out to the public as soon as they are ready. If you want to bash the president, choose another forum. Gee, maybe you would like to respond to a political article, not this simple health-related one.

If the government doesn't want it killing people it should be available NOW and FREE to everyone. The flu comes around and kills thousands every year and every year we are not prepared in time. I think it's time for some changes.

It is up to the Obama Adm to have the health dept make the Vacs - instead of using one science lab to make it all - they should have gotten five to do the Vac. Just like the faulse reports they tried to put out with 1000 deaths - opps it turns out 4000 so far. Obama is a one tern President -
