...require health officials to administer at least two shots spaced four weeks apart. What's more, because the serum won't be ready until at least mid-October, full immunity may not kick in until early December - after the second doses are administered and an additional couple of weeks pass, a time lag that could allow the virus to take off. The target groups for the first round of vaccines will likely include pregnant women, people with children, adults with chronic illnesses like diabetes and asthma and, if more stocks are available, children. "In all likelihood, this flu will...
...rise in body temperature, and Tamiflu was broadly administered, despite federal recommendations. The pandemic was integrated into normal camp life - just another reality like bug bites and sunburn. "The kids made light of it. It was just the flu," says Howie Salzberg, the camp's director.

That was the message from Administration officials touring the Middle East in recent weeks. And it's backed by congressional moves to pass legislation aimed at choking off the gasoline imports on which Iran relies for almost a third of its consumption, by punishing third-country suppliers. It sounds impressive and, for an undiversified economy like Iran's, potentially calamitous. But a number of Iran analysts are skeptical that new sanctions will break...
