TSN is reporting:

Multiple reports suspect Leafs prospect, Jiri Tlusty, called up from the Marlies a week ago, to be the reason Maple Leafs doctors insisted the flu shot be made immediately available.

Although, neither was officially diagnosed, Marlies forwards Tyler Bozak and Andre Deveaux were both bedridden and quarantined last week, with what the AHL club believed to be swine flu. However, sources say neither player was tested to confirm a diagnosis.

The suspicion of swine flu was enough for Marlies doctors to vaccinate the rest of the team and traveling personnel.
