...reason for the wait is biological. The first volunteers to test the new vaccine were inoculated in August, and because most people will not have any existing immunity to H1N1, it will require two shots, spaced three weeks apart, to educate the immune system to recognize H1N1, and another six to eight weeks after that to generate true immunity to the virus.
