All the top U. S. public health leaders at the conference saw the eye to eye on Friday, regarding the fact that that people have stopped being vaccinated and now how the surplus vaccines of H1N1 swine flu to be used, is the one of the biggest challenges. Earlier people were bawling for H1N1 vaccines, but only a few came for vaccination.
美國公共衛生的所有頂級領導人，在週五的會議上看到了你眼望我眼，關於那事實人們已停止接種疫苗，和現在剩餘的H1N1豬流感疫苗如何被使用，是最大的挑戰的其中一個。早些時人們在大叫要H1N1疫苗，但只有少數來疫苗注射。
"The truth is for this pandemic we had about the longest warning we might ever have for a potential bio-threat. And yet we all lament how long it took for vaccine to be made", said Dr. Nicole Lurie, who heads preparedness at the Health and Human Services Department.
About 12,000 Americans have been killed by the H1N1 virus and nearly 250,000 patients have been hospitalized, according to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to CDC about more than half the U. S. population should have been vaccinated and 250 million vaccines had been ordered but the scheduled didn't happen.
根據美國疾病控制和預防中心，大約有12,000美國人被H1N1病毒殺害，和近25萬病人入院接受治療。根據疾控中心，約一半以上的美國人口應已作疫苗注射，和已訂購2.5億劑疫苗，但預計的並沒有發生。
"We told people to prepare to be vaccinated in October and then we didn't show up with vaccine", said Texas State Health Commissioner David Lakey.
To make available free H1N1 vaccinations to students upto age 9 and to those who require their second dose, the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department will to three public schools.
