Original report from Maryland
14 January 2010
Hundreds of families received free H1N1 vaccines at a Buddhist temple in Maryland on Sunday, hoping to strengthen their immune response to the disease.
“This is a peril,” a local resident, Sara, said of the virus, sometimes called swine flu, which has been labeled a pandemic by the World Health Organization.
“We have no immunity to this virus at all, and I don’t want it,” said Sara, who joined others at the Cambodian Buddhist Temple in Silver Spring. “I definitely need a vaccine.”
