Too much flu vaccine?

Too much flu vaccine? First there was too little swine flu vaccine. Now could there be way too much? This week will tell. Get ready for a huge flu-shot push as health officials try to rekindle interest in protection against this new influenza strain that, despite plummeting cases, still is threatening lives — even as they reassess just how much more vaccine needs to be shipped.

It’s a flu shot or your tonsils

If you have been one of those macho souls snubbing H1N1 flu shots, you may have a false sense of security because the flu has been quite limited, at least when compared to the flu that hit the country in 1918. That was the mother of all pandemics, killing 550,000 in the U.S. and 40 million worldwide.

Swine flu vaccine plentiful

After weeks of shortages, swine flu vaccine is plentiful enough that nearly half the states now say everyone can get it, not just people in high-risk groups. But the good news comes with a challenge for health officials: how to keep persuading people to get vaccinated when swine flu infections are waning. “We’re worried that people might be thinking out of sight, out of mind,” said Tom Skinner, a spokesman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Worst swine flu cases treated with lung bypass

Other views: Follow your doctors’ orders

The government cannot protect us against all hazards — and the H1N1 virus is one of them. Private sector health care providers, along with prudent safeguards by individuals and families, are much more effective than the government against disease. Concern about the H1N1 virus — or swine flu — seems to be building. President Barack Obama’s recent declaration that the H1N1 outbreak is a national emergency certainly will ratchet up the level of worry for many people.
