As far as inmates go, they are in a much closer proximity to each other than are college students and the military, regardless of where they are wouldn’t be very effective if they were all down at the same time.

I agree with most of what Sarah is saying, except the N1H1 has not mutated, so the vaccine will work. Granted, mutation was and remains a concern.

The news has made this whole H1N1 into something that its not. I agree with Sarah.. getting the vaccination is not a matter of life or death, nor is it an epidemic. The flu effects those who are young and old the most..Besides the death rate for the regular flu is worse then what the H1N1 has produced. There are plenty of places offing the vaccination. There are at least 3 school in Cape Coral that I have seen advertisements offering it.
Where is your proof that college students come in contact with each other more often then people in the over populated jails? This whole blog seems like nothing but your uneducated opinion.

“WASHINGTON (CNN) — The swine flu virus that has sparked fear and precautions worldwide appears to be no more dangerous than the regular flu virus that makes its rounds each year, U.S. officials said Monday.
What the epidemiologists are seeing now with this particular strain of U.N. is that the severity of the disease, the severity of the flu — how sick you get — is not stronger than regular seasonal flu,” Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Monday as the worldwide number of confirmed cases of swine flu — technically known as 2009 H1N1 virus — topped 1,080.
The flu has been blamed for 26 deaths: 25 in Mexico and one in the United States, according to the World Health Organization.
Still, Napolitano noted, the seasonal flu results in “hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations” and roughly 35,000 fatalities each year in the United States. There are still concerns that the virus could return in the fall, in the typical flu season, as a stronger strain.”

For one, the entire military is not over seas. Another thing, getting the swine flu vaccination is not a matter of life and death for most people. I would also like to point out that viruses mutate and the H1N1 vaccination that was made 5 or so months ago for the original virus, probably will not work for the mutated one.
