SYDNEY, Australia - The Southern Hemisphere has been mostly spared in the swine flu epidemic. That could change soon as winter sets in with no vaccine in place, leaving half the planet out in the cold.

Experts fear public health systems could be overwhelmed — especially if swine flu and regular flu collide in major urban populations.
