Here is a half-funny, half-serious item about the swine flu.

Scott Hensley from NPR reports on a group of Santas who want preference for swine flu vaccines, like those who have constant direct contact with children in public.

Santa Wants Swine Flu Vaccine For Christmas – Shots – Health News Blog : NPR

Santa America, a group of 200 santas who visit sick children year-round, say they should. “Santa” Ernest Berger, president of Santa America, wants his cheery colleagues considered for the vaccine in the same way as schoolteachers and other caregivers are.

Whether Santa gets to cut to the front of the line or not, the reminder that seniors who deal with the public in any way are probably more susceptible to getting the flu is a good one. Be sure to get your flu vaccines — earlier is better!
