Keeping Swine Flu at Bay
The number of swine flu cases is on the rise again in the southeastern U.S. Here in California, H1N1 infection rates are at low levels, but public health officials are still pushing vaccinations to keep it that way. In Bakersfield, they're not just administering the shots in clinics, but taking them to local swap meets.

County Health Directors and Vaccine Distribution
Throughout California, county health departments are dealing with anxious residents. The situation varies county by county, with some local officials complaining they're not being treated fairly by the state health department. First host Scott Shafer checks in with county health directors in Imperial, Santa Clara and Los Angeles counties, and then asks Dr. Mark Horton, director of the California Department of Public Health, about the discrepancies between counties.

Swine Flu in California
On the continuum between calm and panic, most Californians are somewhere in the middle when it comes to swine flu. But there's no question that the shortage of H1N1 vaccine is ratcheting up the anxiety level and fueling demand for inoculations. So far the state has received about two million doses of the vaccine, and they're slowly trickling down to counties. On Thursday, San Francisco held its first public vaccine clinics throughout the city. By the time doors opened at 4 pm, nearly 1,700 people were lined up.

Swine Flu Reality Check
The long-awaited first vaccinations against swine flu begin early next week in some parts of the country. Most states are aiming their first small batches at health care workers, hoping to keep them well enough to be on the job as cases of swine flu are rapidly increasing nationwide.

Predicting Swine Flu
Vaccines for the 2009 H1N1 virus, or swine flu, start appearing next week in clinics and doctors' offices across the country. Health officials are recommending that the first doses go to the most vulnerable groups, including pregnant women. Ultimately, the Centers for Disease Control plans to vaccinate at least half the American population. It's a race against not just the spread of the swine flu virus, but also against its inevitable mutation.
