Flu Vaccine Diminishing

Some immunization clinics in Ontario may have to close in the next few days because the supply of vaccine is expected to run out.

Health Minister Deb Matthews can't say when each health unit is expected to run dry but says the situation means many in the high priority groups won't get their flu shot for a while.

The federal government is shipping almost two-million doses of the regular vaccine next week, but its not certain how much of that is coming to Ontario.
