Maybe our message of encouraging people to seek flu shots is getting through.
We don't want to create the impression that if you don't get your flu shot today that you're going to be in trouble. People at high risk, along with people who are healthy, can continue to get vaccinated after Oct. 24.
November and December are still ample time to get your flu shot.
Compared with 61-million (doses) last year, we're not expecting a shortage. We do understand that with the delays in distribution of the flu vaccine, some people will have to wait until November or December to get vaccine.
The high end, if that (97-million) is reached, it will be the largest amount of flu vaccine ever made.
