Swine Flu Vaccine Availability: Will Your Family Be Offered H1N1 Vaccine?
Author: Terry Fallon
The swine flu vaccine availability may become a major topic this fall and winter. Short supplies may cause many families, yours included, to go without inoculation. When you learn more about the potentially deadly H1N1 virus you will understand why.
The H1N1 virus (swine flu) is different and more dangerous than normal seasonal flu strains. It first showed up in the spring of 2009 and for the past months has appeared to have not been as deadly as some predicted. However, past history indicates that it is likely to reappear in the fall and winter with even greater strength. Why is this something you should be concerned about?
As of the writing of this article (early September, 2009), the CDC could not yet announce when the swine flu vaccine will come on the market. It is believed, though, that when it finally does become available, it will become the most wide scale and expensive vaccination program in history. U.S. taxpaers are expected to have to foot a $10 billion bill!
During this very difficult recession, the US government must consider the vaccination program extremely urgent and that the H1N1 virus could become very very wide spread and deadly. Why else would they consider footing a $10 billion bill?
Researchers tell us that, without a vaccine in place, perhaps one third of the global population will contract the potentially deadly swine flu in the next 12 months. This is why the inoculation program is all but certain, even if it appears that it will now be delayed.
Most people will jump at the opportunity to get the vaccine --- but, due to limited swine flu vaccine availability, there may only be enough vaccine to inoculate a select portion of the population. Many, including your family, may be required to forgo their place in line, thus being denied a swine flu shot.
Why do we say swine flu vaccine availability will be limited? Instead of the expected delivery in October 2009 of an initial 120 million doses to inoculate the U.S. population, vaccine manufacturers say they will be able to come up with only 45 million doses. This means that tens of millions of Americans will be left vulnerable in the event that the virus finds a way to turn more deadly – something that influenza is known to have done in past pandemics.
Now is the time to consider how you might protect your family if they are refused inoculation due to reduced swine flu vaccine availability. For more information on how to do this, visit: http://aboutthefamily.com/health-swinefluvaccineavailability.
