Collin County Frustrated Over Lack Of H1N1 Vaccine
With a lack of swine flu vaccine received, the Collin County Health Department is delaying a planned shot clinic.
Dr. Peggy Wittie with the department says they have ordered 41,500 doses of the vaccine and so far have only received 500. She says they have given what they have to first responders and hospitals. She says a national shortage has caused major changes to their plans but once they do get sufficient amounts of the vaccine they will hold some kind of shot clinic.
She says the department has grown frustrated with the lack of communication and have been trying to go through different channels to get answers as to when they will receive the doses and how much they will get.
