No final decision has been made on whether to vaccinate Americans, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius stressed. That depends largely on studies with experimental batches that are set to start the first week of August — to see if they're safe and seem to work and to learn whether they require one or two doses.
But if all goes well, the federal government will buy vaccine from manufacturers and share it for free among the states, which must then "try and get this in the arms of the targeted population as soon as possible," Sebelius said.
First in line probably will be school-age children,"Schools are natural places" to offer those vaccines, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said.

Poor kids. I don't like animal testing, especially when the animals being tested on are MY species.

Its a no-win situation with the conspiracy theorists. There's probably close to 100+ pages of "this could be the big one!" about how the swine-flu will annihilate the world.
Now that a vaccine is available this deadly vaccine will kill our children and annihilate the world.
Sounds like we're screwed.

How is any of that relevant for me objecting to experiemental drugs being tested on kids?

You're right. It's completely unrelated.
However, since the thread is dedicated to the swine flu vaccine, I assumed you were referring to the use of the H1N1 vaccine in children.
If that's the case, we're faced with the same dilemma: Expose the kids to swine flu, or to the vaccination.

According to that article ,millions of Americans in all states already have it ,I am shure they have been exsposed already.....
WE have already spent 1 billion dollars on it and have another 7.5 billion ready to buy the finished vaccine for this fall.
QUOTE:
Even if swine flu proves no more deadly than regular winter flu, which kills 36,000 Americans a year, teenagers and young adults are being disproportionately hit, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And both types could very well spread at the same time this fall.
"If it doesn't happen, we'll be fortunate," Sebelius added.
