A White House official tells CBS News that President Obama has yet to receive either his seasonal flu shot or the H1N1 vaccine.

The official says Mr. Obama plans to be inoculated, but wants to make sure that "high-risk folks in the White House" get their flu shots before him.

The official says the H1N1 vaccine isn't available yet, but Mr. Obama will get vaccinated once priority recipients are taken care of.

"Here, you take the poison first, I want to make sure there's enough for everyone."
If and when he does get it... it won't be what everyone else is receiving.; Reply to this comment

And, we're supposed to believe that HE'S going to take one of these shots?

THAT'LL BE THE DAY!

If he does, it'll be a hypo of H2O! He's not going to take it!

But, you can be sure of one thing, if he did, it would be without the mercury-based preservative or other dangerous additives!
