" Fox News. -- hearing that Wall Street bankers and people in high priority groups hat had access to the H1N1 vaccine but. -- not everybody else joining us now doctor Leigh -- of the University of Maryland medical school doctor thank you for coming in today. What can you tell us about the vaccinations are they going to be more widely available."
" Is the situation improving. It is improving supposedly according to the CDC conference this past Friday. There are 38 million doses now 30% of those of the nasal spray which don't have any of the preservative and it. The other 70% are injectable. They're not sure the breakdown of what has preservative that primary saw what doesn't but they are sending them -- I've been talking to the Maryland state Health Department. And they get a notification. You know they you're getting this many doses and then throughout the state they're allocating it I'm not really sure how. Wall Street firms would get it because usually it's going through this state Health Department. OK so --"
" These long lines people here this some shots are available in May in more than the nasal dose. And and they go online at the weight with their children and try to safe places in line there's jostling and -- those kind of things. Is that can get any better me can you call your doctor and make an appointment and get the vaccine at some point well."
" It's funny at some point will be able to I had taken my son into the pediatrician the vaccines -- But they have a lottery like for our radio station and if you hadn't called and even though he was in getting his yearly exam they had the vaccine. They couldn't get it to home because people have been calling every day. You know but the question is Willie get out before everybody is exposed to and that's the question what's. Frightening about it it has a very -- balloting dosed less than 1% but still as the numbers grow for exposure you're gonna have increased death and majority of those. People are children you know 65% of people getting infected are under eighteen when you -- now you're talking and let's not write up an acting right now the vaccine itself is safe it's as safe as the regular flu vaccine. The regular flu vaccine has an H1N1 variant and it. The difference is this new H1N1 came out too late to make it to the regular flu it's probably gonna be in next year's flu this one. So now we're juggling with the two vaccines and making a vaccine late. But supposedly the CDC has 38 million doses slotted to go out. They fix the glitches in the manufacturing and their increasing for the key is that now erase. To get more out before more people get exposed. I that is and the constant race and we will continue to watch in and watch the lines as well thank you so much for updating us -- my willingness and latest."
