Plenty of Vaccine Available

The Northwestern Health Unit says there will be enough H1N1 vaccine for anyone who wants the shot in its area.

But the focus locally is administering the shot to those at the greatest risk at contracting the flu virus.

Medical Officer of Health Dr. James Arthurs says its not possible to immunize everyone over the new few weeks, and needs the public's support to ensure those who are 5 years old or under, under 65 with chronic health conditions and health care workers get the shot first.
