The swine flu is estimated to make a comeback this winter even stronger than before. Last month it was announced that a vaccine was being produced, and it is expected to hit Tampa Florida this October. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) is looking into targeting school age children first, even suggesting that vaccines will be given right at the school.
The President has encouraged states to prepare for the possibility of another outbreak of what is now being referred to as a pandemic. ''We may end up averting a crisis. That's our hope,'' said President Barack Obama.
The exact details are not confirmed. However, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) has an information line for those in question of the upcoming vaccine. Centers for Disease Control - (800) CDC-INFO [800-232-4636] CDC TTY - (888) 232-6348
When the flu season arrives the local Health Departments will also have information on how, when, and where to get a vaccine. Prevention is the best protection.
