Yes. Seasonal flu shots for the 2009 - 2010 flu season are available. I just got my flu shot last Friday (Friday October 16th, 2009). So, if you haven't gotten yours yet, then I suggest you get your flu shot as soon as you can. I didn't even feel a thing when I got my shot.
The Swine Flu vaccines are being distributed for local vaccination programs and to doctors and other providers. They are currently being given to the higher risk groups first but by January 2010 the supply is expected to catch up with the demand so that everyone who wants one will have an opportunity to get the swine flu vaccination, too.
