ABC News has obtained a mathematical projection prepared by federal scientists based on an initial outbreak on an East Coast chicken farm in which humans are infected. Within three months, with no vaccine, almost half of the country would have the flu.

I've got a degree in biochemistry - but it doesnt take that to figure out that this is very, very true. US vaccine production would not be able to meet demand for a large scale flu epidemic such as this. The worst hit would be children and the elderly - with very large scale mortality rates.
