Swine flu vaccination progress and first Concordia case
In early October about 22.29 percent of an estimated 135 million eligible Americans aged 18 and over have been vaccinated for swine influenza. States with under 10 percent immunized include Arkansas, Illinois, and New York City. Regions over 60 percent include Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, the Trust Territories, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Health investigators in Concordia probe the first reported case of the new flu since Ft. Dix, N.J., last February. The CDC partly confirms swine flu via blood tests, and there is no evidence yet of person-to-person spread in Concordia.

He advises the poor to wear multiple loose layers, use mittens, and avoid gloves to keep fingers warmer.
