Nassau County Flu Vaccine Shortage

MYFOXNY.COM - Nassau County officials are concerned that thousands of local families have not been able to get seasonal flu vaccinations because of a lack of supply from the manufacturers.

The frustration in the county is mounting because many doctors say they not received all of the vaccine they've ordered from pharmaceutical companies and they have run out.

Doctors' offices and clinics are all getting the same news: There isn't just a lack of swine flu vaccine; the seasonal flu shots aren't available, either. Some doctors said that companies are telling them that making the swine flu vaccine is now a priority, so making the seasonal vaccine has been put on the back burner.
