First Daughters Not Vaccinated Against H1N1

President Obama's school age daughters have not been vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says the vaccine is not available to them based on their risk.

The Centers for Disease Control recommend that children ages 6 months through 18 years of age receive a vaccination against the H1N1 flu virus. At this time only children with chronic medical conditions are receiving the vaccination because their immune system is not strong enough to fight off the strain. The CDC also says a regular seasonal flu shot does not protect against the virus.

Watched Glenn Beck's special on the swine flu tonight. He had 2 doctor's debating whether to be vaccinated or not.

One thing was clear. There's not enough known yet.

I don't think I was any better off after watching that, still not sure what I'll do.

Way back I read that the real danger is a cytokine storm, your own immune system attacking you. I was listening to a discussion on the radio a few weeks ago about how your immune system is suppressed with insufficient or inconsistent sleep. The talk was about needing a good 7.5-8.5 hrs in one solid block, nothing to do with H1N1, but I was curious if you could use sleep deprivation to help prevent a cytokine storm. Then yesterday an ad from some health clinic who does these public service announcements was talking about cytokines and that alcohol suppresses their production, they were saying that as a bad thing, but what if you want to suppress them? If that did work in fighting off H1N1, I guess you'd have to go to AA after.
