Swine Flu 0500

Her mom says Chloe Lindsey was a healthy 14-year-old.

She went home from school sick Wednesday, was diagnosed with swine flu Friday and was hospitalized by Sunday.

"She was just gasping for air and I asked her, 'Baby, why are you breathing like that?' and she said, 'Momma, it hurts,’” said Tammy Osborne, Chloe’s mother.

Her mom says it didn't seem possible.

"The flu killed my baby," said Osborne.

The first doses of the H1N1 vaccine become available next week.

The military is requiring the shots, and health care workers in New York are required too, though some resist it.

Only four in ten parents plan to vaccinate their children, according to one survey.

Parent Marti Griffin says she's not sure it will help.

"I'm just not willing to do it. I'm hoping that the problem doesn't become a massive outbreak and if it does I may regret this decision," said Griffin.

Health officials reassured Congress the vaccine is safe.

"We have safety data from decades of experience with seasonal vaccines which are made in the same manner," said Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases.

Will the doses arrive in time? The whole school district in Huntsville, Texas shut down because too many kids were sent home sick.

"Coughing, headache, just they're really tired, their body ached," said parent Brenda Schultz.

Two hospitals in charlotte, North Carolina have barred children from visiting patients…too risky they say.

Other hospitals have set up special tents to handle flu overload in a flu season that officially starts Sunday.
