The New Swine Flu Vaccine


Six to seven million doses of the new swine flu vaccines have been made, and will be sent next week to over 50 cities and territories by next week. Both shots and nasal sprays or being administrated to the public by Wednesday of next week. In my opinion, I think that they should try or attempt to make more of this vaccine. This new vaccine is in high demand and many people have already died from this flu. Also, in major cities like New York and Chicago, this vaccine should be made mandatory for children or adults working in a school. The Swine Flu cause more then 600 deaths and 9,000 hospitalizations. By October 15th, there should be an estimated 45 million doses available.

  1. I agree with you because I believe more children should be getting the vaccines. Unlike adults, children do not have a strong enough immune system to take the flu. The vaccinations should be sent all across America and Mexico, not just the 50 cities mentioned. I can't believe 600 deaths have already occurred and 9,000 hospitalizations, that's just crazy.

  2. I am 100% in agreement with you. It's finally time we found a vaccine for swine flu with the flu season coming up. Bigger cities should be able to get the vaccine first hand, especially to children because their immune systems are very weak. I didn't even know that 600 people died from the swine flu; it's really hard hitting because not many deaths from the swine flu were publicized. I can't wait to see the results on October 15th!

  3. I completely agree with you that they should make more of these vaccines in order to prevent the spread of H1N1. Not only should they send these treatments to fifty cities here in the United States, but also to different regions of the world where Swine Flu is present. In addition, some doctors and nurses in the country are actually obliged to take this vaccination for H1N1 (Swine Flu).

  4. i agree with you because even when students leave school, they sometimes meet up with students from other schools. Not only that they should give the vaccine to every student, but to every teacher, parent, and staff that works at schools. They shouldn't just give vaccines to school, but they should send a letter to every homeowner and put accept or decline for them to be vaccinated.
