CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: ‘Flu, ‘Flu, ‘Flu Cont’d

Both ABC's Lisa Stark and CBS' junior in-house physician Jennifer Ashton updated us on the vaccine against the H1N1 swine strain of the influenza virus. CBS' Ashton confirmed its efficacy for pregnant women and advised that children younger than ten years of age be given two shots, three weeks apart. NBC filed its 'flu update from London, as the virus spreads during the northern hemisphere's winter. Dawna Friesen found outbreaks in Ukraine and Romania and worries in Saudi Arabia. Public health officials want all of the three million Hajis heading for Mecca later this month to get a 'flu shot before they make their pilgrimage.

NBC's Tom Costello noted the coincidence that Kellogg started making Immunity product claims on its cereal boxes just after the first outbreak of H1N1 occurred in May. Kellogg bases those claims on boosted levels of vitamin and antioxidant additives. Now consumer protection authorities in San Francisco want to see Cocoa Crispies' Krispies' "scientific and consumer research" to prove it. Kellogg contacted Costello to assure him that the firm "is not trying to capitalize on the 'flu outbreak."
