Children with high-risk medical conditions or disabilities should be among the first to be vaccinated against H1N1 influenza, also known as swine flu, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advised Thursday. And high-risk children under 18 years of age should be rushed to a doctor at the first sign of the virus, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, CDC director.
In addition, doctors should be aware that some otherwise healthy children with bacterial infections may be more susceptible to the flu, he told reporters during a conference call. Frieden said the vaccine should be available by mid-October, and will be free at public hospitals and other sites. All schoolchildren should be vaccinated, he said.

I read somewhere that the makers of this are not even getting it due to the side effects and lack of knowledge about it. I'll have to see if I can find that article...

That doesn't say much for their confidence in it, does it...

I was reading yesterday we've had 5 deaths in AR arising from complications related to it in a month. And I still see people in stores that are coughing and hacking without even covering their mouths. Disgusting.
