So far the flu has spread to many areas of the country, Dr. Schuchat noted, and the C.D.C. has heard of outbreaks in 34 summer camps in 16 states. In total about 3,000 Americans have been hospitalized, she said, and 127 have died.
According to Dr. Schuchat, five American vaccine companies are working on a swine flu vaccine.
