This excerpt is from an article on MSNBC's site explaining how parents are going to be hard-pressed to find the second dose of H1N1 vaccine their kids need to be protected. I find this to be disturbing. How is the production going so slowly that we are so far behind, especially knowing that..."After a single dose of vaccine, only 55 percent of children ages 3 to 9 developed enough immune response within 21 days to protect them fully against the H1N1 flu. After a second dose, 94 percent were protected.
Among the youngest children, those ages 6 months to 35 months, only 25 percent posted a strong enough response after just one dose."
