From Anderson Cooper:

October 26, 2009
Send us your H1N1 questions!

Over the weekend, President Obama declared a national emergency to deal with the “rapid increase in illness” from the H1N1 virus. The declaration could help local health-care providers set up special facilities to deal with swine-flu outbreaks more rapidly.

The CDC announced last week that production of the vaccine is slower than expected. While the CDC had hoped for 40 million doses by the end of the month, the real number is estimated to be about 30 million – due to manufacturing delays. Public health departments across the country are quickly running out of H1N1 vaccine and don’t know when the next batches will arrive.

Do you have questions about the H1N1 virus and the vaccine? Dr. Sanjay Gupta will be on with answers tonight.

Let us know! We'll have answers tonight.

Do you think that the president waited so long to declare it as to try and not cause a panic?
