Immunization Planning in Setting of Uncertainty Would there be vaccine? Would it work? One dose or two? Would it arrive ‘in time’? Would there be enough? Would anybody want it? Would it be safe? Would people come to public venues? Would providers be too busy caring for the ill to vaccinate the well? Would the H1N1 vaccination program affect future seasonal vaccine use?
