MOBILE, Alabama - The first doses of the H1N1 flu vaccine will arrive in Alabama this week.

State Health Officer Don Williams announced Monday 60,000 doses will be available within the next ten days. The majority of the doses will be the live virus in the form of a nasal mist.

The Mobile County Health Department does not know how many doses will be delivered to south Alabama, but officials say private physicians will get the vaccines first.

"The vaccine is supposed to build the immunity against the actual swine flu," said Dr. Jimmy Dawood of Immediate Care of the South, who does not know if his clinic will be selected to receive the vaccines. "It's like any vaccine we take," he said.

Director of Epidemiology Melissa Tucker says the Mobile County Health Department expects shipments of the vaccine to continue over the next month. As injectable doses become available, health officials plan to distribute the shots to local schools.

"There's a projection of how much we're going to get, but we're still not sure. We won't know until its in our hands," said Tucker.

Tucker says most public schools have school nurses who will administer the vaccines, but many private schools are looking for nurses to volunteer for the job. Nurses interested in helping give the shots are encouraged to contact the Mobile County Health Department.

State health officials have set up a toll free hot line to answer questions about the flu. Anyone with questions can call 1-877-377-7285 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

several hundred thousand people die every year from malaria yet this isn’t considered a pandemic? See the conflict of agenda here folks? It is not , nor has it ever been about your safety or security. It is about control! Period!
When I was a chemical engineer the good ole usa were trying to find a way to infect mosquitoes with new viral materials and use the deadliest creature ever to live on this planet as the delivery system to reduce the global population. This would be very effective and I am sure that the process is on going to see that this is used along with many other nefarious activities.

this vaccine is poison. Baxter international , somehow came up with the patent for the swine flu 8 months before the outbreak occured. Baxter and Novartis, two big Pharma labs were recently accused and are being investigated by the FBI for criminally infecting 78 kilos of vaccine with live avain flu virus and sent the stuff to 18 countries for use on humans. It was only luck and protocol that a contracted lab tech in the Czech republic stopped a mass murder from taking place at the hands of the global elite. They are making every attempt to thin the global population and America is the biggest target as we have the most guns and this crazy love of OUR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY that we are willing to use them to ensure that we remain free, so how do you kill several million people in a country on the cheap? Why biochem warfare of course! Then you pass laws that do not allow for a refusal of the vaccine (poison) and round up all who refuse and place them in concentration camps , thanks FEMA and your REX 84 plan for the continuity of government! If you are wise you will not accept this vaccine at any cost, but don’t take my word for it, do you own investigation see for your self. I was a chemical combat engineer at ft.leonard wood mo. and I know what is made in these labs and the incredible killing capacity they possess. Thes people want control at any price. Ultimately a micro chipped population.They arfe willing to kill as many as necessary to get it.
