HOUSTON -- The Houston Department of Health and Human Services (HDHHS) will set up four H1N1 vaccination sites Saturday, Nov. 7, to target people who have been unable to obtain a vaccine because of weekday work schedules.

HDHHS employees will begin issuing tickets at 8 a.m. for appointments between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

I don't see why everyone is in such a hurry to get this vaccine. They still don't know enough about this strain to be vaccinating people against it in my opinion. On another station, they have stated that they have found a cat with H1N1 that got it from her owners! This was a big surprise to the science community. If it's a surprise, it means they don't know sh** about this illness, so how can they say this vaccine is safe and effective.
