» First Daughters Not Vaccinated Against H1N1 Row 2, Seat 4 « FOXNews.com
President Obama's school age daughters have not been vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says the vaccine is not available to them based on their risk.
The Centers for Disease Control recommend that children ages 6 months through 18 years of age receive a vaccination against the H1N1 flu virus. At this time only children with chronic medical conditions are receiving the vaccination because their immune system is not strong enough to fight off the strain. The CDC also says a regular seasonal flu shot does not protect against the virus.

Except that is not true - the nasal spray vaccination has been available for weeks now - and people with no medical issues are able to get it. I know this firsthand now.
Therefore, the Obama's are choosing not to get vaccinations - until they do otherwise, this makes for an odd omission given the hype that the White House and others have put behind the swine flu.
Really?
