Vaccinate kids to control H1N1 flu

Targeting children for vaccination may be the best way of using limited supplies of vaccine to control the current H1N1 flu pandemic, British researchers said.

Drugmakers are racing to make a vaccine against the new flu strain but if the disease increases significantly in the northern hemisphere autumn, as many experts fear, there are unlikely to be enough shots to vaccinate entire populations.

What I wouldn't give to be able to warn the (probably) sleeping parents of these children that **they must not vaccinate.**

But how do you reach an ENTIRE NATION with a message like this? It could easily be done via TV, if only TV was in the business of saving lives. Which they aren't, sadly.
