There had been a good global response to H1N1, up until it was time to supply vaccines. But the vaccine is reported to have been tested safe. Older and younger people should get it first, healthy middle-agers can wait -- cool site; Balkingpoints ; incredible satellite view of earth

No need for healthcare reform in the U.S. and A. We got plenty of vaccinations. Healthcare and education are NOT a priority for this country.

I think jhl is misinformed. Older people are actually at relatively low risk for H1N1, unless they have some pre-existing chronic conditions. The priority should be pregnant women and young children to young adults (up to 23?), then adults with chronic illnesses (diabetes, lung conditions, etc.).
