Finland: H1N1 has spread to whole country

Whole Finland have fallen in H1N1 last week. About 2% of the population are infected and 10 persons have died this far. Situation is getting worse during next two weeks, but health care is already running out from resources. About 10% of the population have recevied the vaccine, but it takes few weeks to be effect.

Both the president Tarja Halonen and prime minister Matti Vanhanen are going to wait for their turn with H1N1 vaccine. Both agree, that political elite has no moral justification to take the vaccine before pregnant, children nor sick personnel. The vaccination of healthy children have started this week after health care personnel, pregnant and sick.
