America's got the flu blues. Out West it hit early and hard and now the east may be in for some more misery. But the country is virtually out of vaccine. We'll find out how that happened and why it's apparently so difficult to predict and prepare for the flu. Laura's guests are Dr. Jesse Greenblatt, State Epidemiologist, and David Ropeik, Director of Risk Communications at the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis. Laura will also talk to Dr. John Modlin, Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine at Dartmouth Medical School.
