sueRabat : Did you people get vaccinated? It costs only $28 in Walgreens and even less in some other places.
Eidkom Mubarak insha Allah. If you decide not to slaughter a sheep, plz send some SADAQAH to the poor Muslims in the USA or in Morocco, preferably send it directly to the person in need. May be you could buy or pay for a vaccine for some people.

flowerofmorocco : salam wafiners
it is sad that person lost his life due to swine flu, but luckly it is only one case among 48 millions and counting.
alhamdolilah finally my family and i got the vaccine here in massachussettes after along time waiting for it due to its shortage. one thing i do not understand is why does it cost so much since it is made here in usa?
my father in law happened to be here when my family got a break. so he did too because we have a 4 months old baby i told my boss, shockinly she was so mad her face turned red about how could he get one and her ill father and she could not. it was very humurious to watch her flip about such a thing.
sueRabat : 107 new cases of H1N1 in Morocco. THis brings the total swine Flue epidemic to opver 1500 cases across the country.
