Vaccinate Canadians under 40 and natives first: experts

Five-to-40-year-olds and Canada's aboriginal communities should be the first to get vaccinated against human swine flu, experts say as Canadian officials decide who gets priority for the flu shots.

Under Canada's official pandemic plan, the entire population would ultimately be immunized against the H1N1 swine flu.

But the vaccine will become available in batches, meaning the entire population can't be vaccinated at once. It might take four or five months to get all the vaccine we're going to get, during which time a second wave of swine flu may well be underway.

The Public Health Agency of Canada is working on a priority list, deciding where the first batches should go, and who should get the injections first. All provinces and territories would be expected to follow the national prioritization scheme.

Wow! Doesn't sound like it will be mandatory though. I'd probably laugh my ass off if some dude tried to immunize me some night when leaving a bar.

Hey Minifang, why under 40 and Natives? In another thread in here somewhere, weren't they saying that the vaccinations kill rather than help? Does that mean they are trying to wipe out the rest of the Native population???

Canadians aren't so good at mandatory anything, so they may be hard pressed to get this done..

There was something about that on the radio the other day. A lot of the native communities don't have much or any running water, and they aren't being given hand sanitizers due to potential for alcohol abuse. Therefore flus have been spreading quite rampantly in those communities.

Oh, doesn't that make them more resilient to the flu? I mean doesn't it work in their favour a little too, by building up some resistants?

If they ever try any demand a vaccine against my will, I don't care if it is for ebola I'll kill the mother flubb who try and do it.

I have to go along with Altruistic_Egomaniac(hence forth refered to as AE).

Not a chance they could poke me or mine,there will be blood and I don't care if some of it is mine.

Tagging me will be a waste of their time and a whole lot more expensive than it is worth.Better off letting me go with the rest of the infected.No money spent nor gunpowder.

As for the Native population being innoculated,lets just say that in order for this to be accepted by the general population there has to be a major outbreak that has been isolated and cured in a grand fashion.

Most of the community's that have suffered a large concentration of H1N1 are already isolated and living in tight quarters.An environment that is ripe for viral epidemics.These are the same conditions that they have lived in for the last 500 years.Assimilation is a long road to extinction.Here, have a blanket it's a cold road too.

Daddio.
