There's plenty of swine flu vaccine to go around and to prove it Conway Medical Center gave them out for free Tuesday morning.

H1N1 has traveled in waves throughout the U.S. The first wave was in June of 2009 and the last peak was in November.

However, the CDC reminds you that we're still in flu season and in order to prepare for another peak of swine flu, you are encouraged to get the vaccine. "Right now there is a lull in the mass spread of H1N1, but it is very possible we could see another wave or two before the thing plays itself out," said Julie Rajotte, Conway Medical Center spokeswoman.

Health officials encourage you to get both the seasonal flu and H1N1 vaccine this year. Next year, the CDC expects to combine both of the vaccines into one shot.
