Swine Flu Vaccine Limited

Only 1 in 3 who want the H1N1 swine flu vaccine can find it. This information coming from a national poll, is proving that the shot to protect against the swine flu is not readily available. Manufacturing delays have cut the supply short which is leaving 2/3 of American people waiting. This fact is true to even the people who are targeted to being at high risk, and who should be the first to get the vaccination. The shot has been available for about a month in the United States, but because of the manufacturing delays people are worried about the virus.

Good news is around the corner, when the availability is going to increase over the next couple of weeks. Currently, there are 38 million doses available, and an increase of 11 million is coming next week, with another 8 million the week after.

  1. I have never had a flu shot - but I will get one this year - and hopefully the swine flu shot will be available for all age groups that are susceptible!
