Haiti

HBSunglassCompany, the leading wholesale sunglass distributors, would like to send their sympathy to all the people in Haiti. On January 12, 2010 a massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti near the capitol Port-au-Prince. The damage is extensive. Hundreds of buildings and structures were hit, thousands of people were injured, and the death toll keeps rising. This is a huge catastrophe. Luckily, World Vision, an organization, is over there helping where they can. They are supplying survivors with food, shelter, emergency care, etc. Again, we extended our sympathy.

Swine Flu Vaccine

HBSunglassCompany recommends that everyone, especially children, go out and get their swine flu shot. On November 16th, 2009 the FDA announced that they have approved another swine flu vaccine, thus being the 5th approved. This particular vaccine is being manufactured by a Canadian Company called ID Biomedical Corp who is owned by GlaxoSmithKline. This vaccine is egg-based and contains the mercury containing organic compound thimerosal. At the end of October President Obama announced the swine flu a national emergency, thus strongly recommending that children receive the H1N1 shot. Some children under 10 are even needing a second dose to make the initial swine flu vaccination effective. There has been a shortage, especially with some needing two doses, so that is why the need for the 5th, most recent, release was approved.
