With all the swine flu I find it hard to believe more schools as well as businesses don't have plans. I know business can even get a break on their insurance. I found a great website that not only has plans but also a great deal of information. Check out www.pandemicsupport.com

I was just wondering if he had gotten the H1N1 flu shot?

Unless he was high risk , which they have stated he had no underlying medical conditions, I doubt he had both series of shots.
The vaccine is supposedly most effective after the second dose.
It takes 5 weeks for your body to produce antibodies after the initial H1N1 vaccine.
