Swine flu still has not been eradicated in Colorado. In a report released Friday, the Colorado Department of Health says that two new cases were confirmed in the state lab this week. While that's nothing compared to the peak earlier this season, it shows that swine flu is still circulating in the state.

You can still get free H1N1 shots at the Citadel Mall or county health departments. Doctors offices and pharmacies also have them -- and the price is falling. Safeway Pharmacies now offer them for $9. A vaccine now will protect you from H1N1 next winter, if this flu rebounds, as some health officials fear.
