Pregnancy likely to be swine flu shot priority

• AP
Swine flu has been hitting pregnant women unusually hard, so they are likely to be among the first group advised to get a new swine flu shot this fall.

Pregnant women account for 6% of U.S. swine flu deaths since the pandemic began in April, even though they make up just 1% of the U.S. population.

Hey Powell, just exactly where do they get these statistics for all of the hundreds of thousands of people getting the swine flu? I don't know about you, but I know people all over the U.S. and don't know anyone who is ill with this.
