Eight Cities to Get 1st H1N1 "Swine" Flu Vaccine (St. Louis, Houston, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Seattle, Iowa City, Baltimore and Nashville)

Are you going to get the experimental vaccine when it becomes available? If you live in one of eight cities, then you may be in luck for a trial program. I will pass.

About 2,800 people will participate in the government-led studies. Saint Louis University will test 200 adults and 200 children. Also under way are separate studies by five flu vaccine manufacturers under contract with the government.

The other study sites are Baylor College of Medicine in Texas, Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Emory University, Group Health Cooperative in Seattle, University of Iowa, University of Maryland School of Medicine and Vanderbilt University.
