Updated – 2003 Fujian Flu Could Be Worse Than 1968 Hong Kong Flu.

"OF THE 280 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES, WHAT PERCENTAGE WOULD END UP WITH THIS FUJIAN FLU THIS TIME?"

"I think at least 20%. So, we're talking about 50 million people at least in 2003-2004. And about 70,000 excess deaths."

Updated - December 5, 2003 - Two influenza vaccine manufacturers announced today that they have shipped all their vaccines and will not have any more until the spring of 2004. So, if one doctor's office is out of flu shots, try another. Some offices and clinics have more flu vaccines than others.
