Swine flu H1N1 is going to continue to spread regardless of "flu season" and this will cover the expected waves of infection over the next couple of years. The purpose of public vaccination efforts is not just to protect individuals but to limit its future spread.

Since flu season officially is not until January, I say it is in time. It is definitely not too late, if that what is being implied.
