“ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) — Health officials expect more than 3 million doses of H1N1 flu vaccine to be available in the first week of October.
“3.4 million doses of vaccines will be available,” said Dr. Jay Butler, who heads the 2009 H1N1 Vaccine Task Force at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“All of that vaccine is the inhalable vaccine,” he said Friday.
That form of vaccine is marketed in the United States as FluMist and is approved only for healthy individuals between the ages of 2 and 49. Pregnant women are not allowed to get this type of vaccine because it contains a live virus…”
That would be a great day…smile_regular… the day they put live virus up your nose. I get to pass on this idea. I am over 49 years of age.
Is FluMist going to become a household name? Should I buy stock in the company? I do not know. FluMist on Wikipedia
I just feel there has got to be a joke in this someplace… a live virus up your nose… I can not think of the joke.

H1N1 or Swine Flu is a bit scary but it a good thing to note that this virus is not that very deadly.
