For the last little while we have been assured that there will be enough H1N1 Flu Vaccine for everyone.  However this past week it was announced that there is only 30 million available nationwide.  The Los Angeles Times reported that:

“Officials at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had expected about 40 million doses of the swine flu vaccine to be distributed by the end of the month, but it looks as though a maximum of 28 million to 30 million doses will actually be shipped, said Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. That’s about 25% fewer than expected.

“Vaccine production is pretty complex, and it is taking a bit longer than we would hope,” she said at a news conference Friday.
In particular, growing the virus in eggs has not yielded as much antigen — the crucial component of the vaccine — as is normally obtained with the seasonal flu.

Despite the current low production, however, there are no plans to use adjuvants — chemicals added to increase the immune response to the antigen — to extend the supply of the pandemic H1N1 vaccine, said Dr. Jesse Goodman of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.”

Weather you believe in taking the vaccine or not, I would like to use this to illustrate the importance of not relying on the government or anyone else for that matter to secure the health and safety of your family.  There are things you can do to greatly reduce your risk of contracting this or any other kind of flu.  It just takes a little preparedness.

If you have been waiting around for the government or others to make sure you will be safe in this or any other disaster you will most likely be disappointed just like the example above.  Please make sure that you take a long hard look at your situation.  Make sure you have a solid food storage, water, and emergency supply plan in place for your family.  You can get what you need right here at TheReadyStore.com.

As for the H1N1 Flu, you can get reserpator masks, quarenteen kits, and other supplies that will both help keep you from getting sick and help you if you do get sick.

This last week my nephew just contracted the H1N1 virus.  They were unable to get the vaccine because of the shortage mentioned above.  Do you really think that it’s a good idea to rely on anyone but yourself to get ready?  I don’t.  You don’t have to live in fear.  You don’t have to worry another minute about your families safety.  All you need to do is take action right now and get your family prepared.
