The live virus swine flu vax is arriving, watch for the spread of the flu to increase, thanks to the vaccine....argghhhhh, and they are targeting all school children, yikes.
The first swine flu vaccine arrived in Florida on Thursday, in Jefferson and St. Johns counties -- two northern Florida counties that together have had only one flu death since the H1N1 influenza began its spread in April.
The vaccines are part of 102,000 doses the state will get as its first batch from manufacturers this week. Miami-Dade and Broward counties, with 31 flu deaths, don't expect their first vaccines until the middle of next week, and plan to start vaccinations a week from Monday, on Oct. 19 -- entirely on school-age achildren.
It's the beginning of a nationwide campaign that aims to vaccinate more than half of the country's 305 million population before year's end.
It was up to the vaccine distributor to decide where to ship first, said Department of Health press secretary Doc Kokol.
