Apple does support using the 30-pin connector within Apps for iPhone, I assume they'd support it for iPad too.

I'll get it if I can find it. I'm not in any of the high priority groups, so I'm not sure when/where it will be available to me.

I think this may be a consequence of the way influenza vaccines are currently produced. It is egg-based, which means we need one egg for each flu strain and every vaccine. With 3 different strains, that's three eggs per vaccine. I imagine the logistics get very difficult very quickly beyond 3 strains.
