More importantly if there was blanket vaccination then the chances of the ariport hanger on getting the strain would be reduced in two ways:

All very well, but global blanket vaccination against 'flu surely isn't feasible? Not only because of needing 6 billion 'flu jabs per year, but because in order to vaccinate against 'flu you have to have first globally vaccinated against everything that's higher on the list of important things to deal with - polio is on the resurge, then there's yellow fever and typhoid to worry about before we do anything else.
