If I were a drugstore (and actually had stock of the vaccine), I'd advertise that we had H1N1 shots with this slogan in the windows.
I'm a believer in flu shots and try to get them every year. Especially this year with a baby arrival expected in the thick of a rampid flu season. Some people aren't comfortable with this vaccine and that is hasn't been tested long enough. I brought it up during our last doctors visit and got the confirmation that yes, this would be a good thing to get. I felt comfortable with that.
Last week I was watching the local news on a night where they dedicated half of their broadcast to the swine flu. The news station had added a page to their website of places they had found in the metro Atlanta area that had stock of H1N1 shots- and we were in luck! Our county's health department would be getting in a shipment of H1N1 shots at 10am the next morning and then have an open clinic from 1-3pm that day for people to come get them.
Brant was such a trooper about it- he definately is not a fan of getting shots, but I was able to convince him that with all the people he comes in contact with at work, that flu shots may not be a bad idea for him. Meaning both the seasonal flu shot and the H1N1 shot. I'm not paranoid- just prepared. Plus I've already had a mild cold that lasted about two weeks and do not look forward to the possiblity of becomming even more sick at the same time of having a new baby.
If your a believer in the flu vaccine and live in the Atlanta Metro area, go here for a list of available places with the H1N1 shot.

I need to get a H1N1 shot too....for some reason, our area is not getting enough! My sister who lives 3 hours away says clinics in her area has plenty...what's up with that?? I might have to drive 3 hours to go get it huh?
Good luck and hope you feel better now.
In the DFW area, you have to be high risk (med. personnel, child with health issues, or a pregnant lady) to get the H1N1 shot). It is in very short supply. Which is okay with me, because I don't like shots. My motto is: wash your hands, and don't touch your face alot!!!
Oh, and for the Election, officials even included a big bottle of hand sanitizer for voters and clerks. That was a first! Nice!!!
everyone who works at the hospital here is required to get both the flu and h1n1 vaccine. i don't really know how i feel about it, i am still deciding for my kids if I want it or not.
