How do I get the swine flu vaccine shot?

Currently the shot is being rationed, which means only certain people can get it at this time. Currently people under 18 and adult caregivers are the only ones getting the shot, but it will be open to more at the end of this month. Also, CVS and other pharmacies are not being given the shot at the moment. It is currently only being given to your county health department, but again, this is changing (going to doctors offices and health departments only) at the end of the month. CVS only carries the seasonal flu vaccine, which is completely different from h1n1 (swine) so it will not carry any protection against swine flu. Since you are uninsured, you may have to wait quite a while before they come available at CVS :(
