Swine flu shot goes mainstream

The swine flu vaccine is now available to anyone who wants one, Maryland officials announced yesterday.

Will you get one?

As infections have declined, it seems interest in the vaccine has too. In recent weeks, county health departments have had trouble filling their clinics. Some people think the worst of the H1N1 pandemic is behind us.

Others say the brace yourselves for a third wave of infections once winter takes hold.
