Swine Flu vaccine...Is this joke for India

I live in Pune which is considered to be swine flu capital of India. Currently we are in constant fear of " What will happen now". We can't leave the city and go somewhere as we don't know that it is not going to hit us there. We have learnt to live with this fear.

I just read today that most big countries like USA and UK have ordered bulk vaccines which are available now. Indian government hasn't ordered a single dose of vaccine leave procuring one. We are a country of 1+ Billion people and leave in congested areas. We all know that this disease spreads through contact. Is this not clear to Government of India. We have produced so many
" Brains" but don't we have single health official who should think about getting vaccines at least ordered.

The Indian companies who are developing vaccines are never briefed by government about how much they will need but they got order from Africa, Asian countries....is this thing a joke.

Come on guys , do something.
