First Swine Flu Vaccines To Be Released As Nasal Spray

swine-flu-nasal-spray.jpg The first batch of H1N1 flu vaccines, some 3.4 million doses, will come in the form of a nasal spray from a company called MedImmune. We couldn't be more pleased about this because we hate needles, and we're total hypochondriacs. The U.S. has ordered a total of 195 million doses of the vaccine and pretty much everyone is encouraged to get vaccinated, beginning with health care workers, the immuno-compromised, and anyone with respiratory ailments. Get your flu shots/nasal sprays, kids! We fear it's going to be an ugly winter.
