I think that the shortage of flu vaccine is phony. Canada has plenty of vaccine. When I went to get my regular flu shot, the line was full of Canadians, saying that they had all had their swine flu shots two weeks ago, that they were done with their inoculations for the swine flu, but Canada was short on the vaccine for the regular flu.
I live in Canada and I contacted my local clinic to obtain either Swine (H1N1) or regular flu shots in my town. I was told they aren't available and no-one knows when they will be available. I was advised to "call the government" to make official inquiries and/or complaints.
I walked home and had a coffee.
