At Netroots Nation, I was fortunate enough to participate in a science panel moderated by Mark Sumner and featuring Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway (Merchants of Doubt), and Josh Roseneau (National Center for Science Education.) Their pieces can be found here, here, and here in the order they were given and are well worth the time to view.
For my part, I had a piece about pandemics and vaccination, noting that one of the interesting effects of having a non-seasonal flu H1N1 influenza pandemic was the result of people being more willing to get a non-H1N1 seasonal flu vaccine. It's important to review this topic; like the engineers reviewing the management failure that happened in the Gulf, it's the only way to make use of the lessons learned.
Still, there was reasonable success in vaccinating people, especially high risk groups. The Northeast was especially good about it, due primarily to the strategy of using schools to vaccinate children. The Southeast wasn't so good, and had small late outbreaks of pandemic flu relative to the rest of the country.

A news story about public health lessons learned from this pandemic got me thinking about what real-world lessons we can learn from this experience. Here's what I've come up with so far.

We aren't quite done with this particular flu outbreak. The 2009 H1N1 pandemic (aka swine flu) is declining in most places in the US (not in New England yet, but that will come) and we have no idea whether there will be a third wave in spring (maybe), or whether lower amounts of H1N1 illness will hang out like it did all summer (probably.) Vaccine can help to mitigate that, so get your shot when it becomes available (use google maps to find one near you). There's room on line for everyone, but the head of the line belongs to pregnant women and children, followed by older children as well as 25-64 year olds with underlying conditions. And even as flu declines, we already know that we can learn some lessons from what has already occurred in the spring and fall.
