President Barack Obama is adding his personal call to states to get ready for a possible swine flu resurgence in the fall.
Obama telephoned the National Institutes of Health all the way from Italy Thursday to tell a meeting of 500 flu officials not to promote panic -- but to make sure "we are promoting vigilance and preparation."
Saying the potential for a significant fall outbreak is looming, Obama said steps taken now to prepare are crucial to protect "our neighbors and our friends and co-workers."
