CBS) Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the H1N1 virus is widespread in 48 states. Last weekend, the president declared a national emergency. A new vaccine is supposed to save the country from the worst-case scenario. But that vaccine isn’t coming as fast as expected and there’s lots of skepticism. Should you get it? Can you get it? Is it safe? To find some answers, 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley went inside the federal government’s $3 billion H1N1 vaccine project. This is the first time the public has seen where and how the vaccine is made. It’s true that for 99 percent of the people who get H1N1, it is just the flu – a few miserable days at home. But health officials warn that those who don’t get vaccinated take a chance they’ll end up like 15-year-old Luke Duvall, who we met in our first report on the virus two weeks ago.
Officials said production for the H1N1 vaccine is right on schedule, despite reports of delays. “Some people say well what’s the delay, what’s the shortage? For us there is no delay. There has always been a period of time that is very fixed. We’re talking about mother nature here,” said Veihbacher.
