Our system is not designed to ensure that there are early flu shots available to those who need them most.

There seems to be a consensus that there will be plenty to meet the expected demand.

Health departments, in particular, they're having to postpone their clinics and turn away elderly people who might want their shots. It's important that people recognize that if they need to get a shot in November or December, that's fine.

Many, particularly elderly people who are accustomed to getting flu shots from private physicians or those in nursing homes and institutional settings, are not able to get their flu shots. Health departments, which customarily plan on having clinics in mid to late October are having to postpone or cancel until such time as they get an adequate supply of vaccine.
