The CDC, along with state and local health officials, will launch the most ambitious mass-vaccination campaign in U.S. history. This will be a new vaccine since the regular vaccine for seasonal flu will offer no protection against H1N1. But because it is being produced exactly like the seasonal-flu vaccine that manufacturers make every year, it is relatively predictable. It will have been studied in clinical trials, which are going on now, and so far, it appears that the risks of serious side effects...

"They have made the offer, and some of our law-enforcement agencies are receiving training from the Americans," Interior Minister Rehman Malik tells TIME. Still, Malik says, "we need all sorts of capacity-building equipment, the list is long." Some leading analysts argue that the U.S. has focused too narrowly on the army to the neglect of the police's counterterrorism abilities - which could prove crucial in thwarting bombings, like the one that struck a crowded marketplace in Kohat on Sept. 18, killing...
