In January when the vaccine is available, will it be bought from abroad - if so from which country, or is it being developped in Thailand?

ugh there is so much Fear Uncertainty and Doubt surrounding Flu anything! I notice it has slipped away in the news to be replaced by Climate Gate and the Copenhagen breathing TAX summit.

No argument over the severity of any flu but I find it amusing of the chicken littles screaming how the sky is falling. WHO stats. Thailand has had 165 confirmed deaths of H1N1 in 2009. Thats an average of .5 (one half) death per day. Thailand has 35 road deaths per day, thats correct 35 road deaths per day on motor bikes. So you chicken littles please tell me where the epidemic.

The epidemic is here alright...huge numbers of cases in Thailand. But here as in the rest of the world the mortality rate is no higher than for ordinary seasonal flu.
The big concern with H1N1 is not with what it now does but with what might happen if it mutates. About every 100 years or so there is a worldwide pandemic of a new and unusually lethal flu strain. Last time it happened was the Spanish flu outbreak almost 100 years ago. That one started in a pattern similiar to what is being seen with swine flu now, then mutated and a second wave of infections proved both more virulent and deadly. So the concern is that this might happen with H1N1 in the not so distant future. So, precautions are being taken to reduce the chance of that happening. Unfortunately in public health a success is something that doesn't happen, and since you can never prove that a thing that didn't happen would have if you hadn't done XYZ, a lot of the benefits of public health measures go unrecognized...or incur "chicken little" type comments. #14

I checked to see if it accidentally got deleted, not the case. No sign of it anywhere so must have disappeared somewhere between your keyboard and the forum.
