In Belmont County, several people with flu symptoms have been tested, but all have come back negative.

Meanwhile, the county's health department is learning more about the swine flu shots that could be in our future.

They say the drug companies are currently in production of their regular seasonal flu vaccine, and that should be completed in July.

Then they can start in on the H1N1 vaccine at that point.

"Manufacturers are thinking it will take five to six months at that point," says Rob Sproul, public health infrastructure specialist and sanitarian for the Belmont County Health Department. "But it will depend on their capacity and their abilities to get the vaccine out. As soon as they complete that, they will test it for safety and then we should hope to receive it very quickly after that."

Sproul says health experts will probably urge people to get both the regular flu shot and the H-1-N-1 shot this winter.

He says the H-1-N-1 will probably be in two injections--one initial shot and a booster later on.

The health department plans to set up clinics around the county and townships, just like they do with the seasonal flu shots.

But they predict the H-1-N-1 vaccine won't be out until December or later.
