HHS announces delay in H1N1 vaccine distribution.

| No Comments

ABC World News reports, "Protection against the swine flu is going to be delayed for millions of Americans. Federal officials now say that only about a third of the swine flu vaccine the country is counting on will be available by mid-October. That's when the mass vaccination campaign is scheduled to begin." Comment: It is not surprising that politically dominated decisions about medial subjects rarely pan out as intended.  The usual rush to judgment was made without adequate scientific input, or else such input was ignored, the most likely event. At the same time we must not let ourselves be diverted from ensuring that children get all the recommended current immunizations.
