It also could be that that they are not concerned SO MUCH for over 65 population. I have read that most older people have met the bug before and probably manufactured immunity.
In Huntsville, Alabama, my friend reported that H1N1 shots were not available to anyone over 49 because generally their risk for contacting that flu is less.
I was most concerned for my grandchildren. One was able to get the shot and the other was not. Younger people have become sicker. I am pleased that John Z posted with "insider" information. I agree that it has not been as bad as we thought it would be. BUT people are still dying from it and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
