The Porkers Say the Swine Flu Vaccine Won't Be Ready Until the Fall, But We'll Roast a Pig For You Today!

    FLORHAM PARK, NJ, July 23, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The latest news from the U.S. Government states that it is preparing to offer the H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine to school aged children in October and Vaccine makers, such as Sanofi-Aventis (SNY), GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Novartis (NVS), are currently developing H1N1 influenza vaccine pilot lots that would be used for tests that could start next month.1 So you can't get the Swine Flu vaccine just yet, but you can get a Porkers professionally roasted pig!

"Whether you're planning your family reunion, beach party, backyard picnic, team party or any get together of 40 or more people, why not add a succulent, hardwood charcoal, roasted pig with all the trimmings to your menu," says Michael Achey, co-founder of The Porkers.

Achey and partners will bring a whole pig on a spit to any location in the NY metropolitan area. This provides a unique experience for party guests as they can smell the delicious, original blend of seasonings as the pig slow roasts over hardwood charcoal to give it that one-of-a-kind flavor. And that's not all The Porkers provide - a full menu of barbecue style food is included in the package price, including vegetarian options. The Porkers bring everything needed for a roasted pig, creating a worry-free experience for hosts and guests. A minimum of 40 party-goers is suggested to get the maximum value from each pig.

The Porkers creator Michael Achey decided to take the show on the road. The Porkers mastered the art of pig roasting after hundreds of BBQ's and a relentless desire to create the perfect entries. All of the recipes are their own creations, or traditional recipes with a Porkers twist! For more information, visit their website at www.pigcooks.com.

What medications are available to treat swine flu infections in humans?
There are four different antiviral drugs that are licensed for use in the US for the treatment of influenza: amantadine, rimantadine, oseltamivir and zanamivir. While most swine influenza viruses have been susceptible to all four drugs, the most recent H1N1 influenza viruses isolated from humans are resistant to amantadine and rimantadine.
