Many Northeast Ohioans are putting together back-to-school shopping lists, and, with more than 44,000 confirmed cases of the swine flu, should we all be adding Tamiflu to the list?

Join us this morning at 9:00 for answers to your questions about the swine flu and your community.

will the State-wide registery in Columbus track the flu vaccinations and would this be useful should there be a second shot or possible pandemic?

When I was a child, the students were gathered into the gymnasium and we all were given tb shots. Why not implement such a program again and the follow-up would be done by the schools?
