U.S. health officials say swine flu could strike up to 40 percent of Americans over the next two years and as many as several hundred thousand could die if a vaccine campaign and other measures aren’t successful.

Read the story.

These are estimates from the Centers for Diease Control. As many as 100,000 Americans could die from the the swine flu, also called the H1N1 flu, if no vaccine is found and other mitigation efforts fail.

Once again, this  brings  to light the  importance of having an online Personal Health Record where you can store and manage your family’s medical records – the actual copies of immunization records, lab reports, test results and more – from multiple doctors and other health providers.
