All those months of being told to wash your hands and all those vaccination clinics seem to be paying off in the QCA.  Scott County is reporting a "drastic decrease" in H1N1 flu.  There's not been a single reported case in weeks.

     "It's been a great response from the schools," says Roma Taylor with the Scott County Health Department.  The County's recent in-school vaccination clinics have gotten a response rate at each school of up for 40%.  The national average is 29%.

     "The schools have been great," Taylor says, "and covering that key population is part of the reason why we're hearing so little about H1N1 now."

     It's a much different story with parents.  A recent poll shows 61 percent of all adults have not been vaccinated - and don't plan to be.  Ironically, the most common reason given for that is that with so few H1N1 cases out there now, many adults don't see H1N1 as a threat anymore.

    That, Taylor says, could be a big mistake.  "I don't think the worst is behind us.  We have to remember the outbreak that took place in Mexico happened in the spring."

     The flu can strike in Iowa as late as May.
