For all of you freaking out over swine flu (although most everyone seems to have calmed down lately...maybe it's the sahel effect?) there is good news!

CAIRO (AFP) – Egypt is to order five million doses of swine flu vaccine, Deputy Health Minister Nasser al-Sayyed told AFP on Friday, sufficient to immunise 2.5 million of Egypt's nearly 80 million population.

Egypt will buy five million doses as soon as the vaccine becomes available," Sayyed said, adding that the order could be increased to 10 million doses depending on the evolution of the (A)H1N1 virus over the winter."

As of last Thursday, there have been 329 confirmed cases of the H1N1 virus with only one death.

Well we see this as something to be reassured about...at least we're preparing for the worst and like they say "it's better to be safe than sorry."
