Analysis: Getting Easier to Find Flu Shots (Source: The Washington Times)
From the article:
A week after lifting restrictions on flu vaccinations, Michigan public-health officials were encouraging the general public to get inoculated regardless of age or health, but many are forgoing vaccination or think it’s too late to develop immunity before the flu season is over.
In several states this fall’s vaccine crisis is a case of a shortage turning into a surplus.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fears with 62.5 million doses of vaccine eventually available that vaccine may go to waste if the public doesn’t use it soon.
Flu typically peaks in February but the season can stretch into April. This year flu is off to a slow start and has been mild compared to last year.
