The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported yesterday that close to 3,900 Americans have died of the Mexican flu in the first 6 months of the pandemic – a number that includes 540 children. It is estimated that thus far, 22 million people in the United States have already had the virus, with 98,000 hospitalized.
Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases told CNN that 41.6 million doses of H1N1 vaccine are now available, up from 38 million last week, but "not as much as we'd hoped to have by today."
