We don't know the larger wisdom behind this effort, but several flu shot kiosks have been set up at SFO dispensing H1N1 vaccinations to those 18 and older for the reasonable (by airport standards) fee of $35. Even though most reports we've read say that viral immunity doesn't begin for ten days after the shot, the dispensary clearly believes that their effort will generate both comfort among travelers and quick profits. Visit one on your way out of town, in case you didn't get to it beforehand, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays, 8 to 1 on Saturdays, and 11 to 7 on Sundays.

I was at SFO on Wednesday. The shots are for the regular flu, not H1N1.
Yeah, getting the flu shot won't help you on that flight, but it will help you later. Anyway this is a good idea. It gets people to get the flu shot while they are thinking about it; the more people who get immunized the better (for all of us).
I'd guess the idea is not that you're getting immunized for the trip, but that you're sitting around waiting for your delayed flight anyway, and hey you've been meaning to get that flu shot, may as well get it taken care of. Good idea.
I was in DFW two weeks ago, and they had the same seasonal flu vaccine there, as well. H1N1 has yet to be released in it's injectable form, but is available in the inhaleable form.
