Preparedness: The CDC says that there will be plenty of flu vaccine out there this fall:
Determined to avoid a repeat of last year's flu-shot shortage, the government announced that vaccine makers will have 100 million doses ready for this winter.
That figure does not include the estimated 4.5 million doses of flu shots the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is planning to keep in reserve for children in its first-ever stockpiling of the vaccine.
For the 2003-04 season, there were 86.9 million doses available, compared with 95 million in 2002.
I've ordered mine. But I'm still waiting for the Prevnar I ordered three months ago. And that shortage is supposed to be letting up, too. posted by Sydney on
