What is CDC doing to minimize the impact of the delays?
CDC has contracted for 9 million additional doses of vaccine to be produced this year which will be available in December. These additional doses will be used to help fill some gaps to vaccinate people at highest risk of complications of influenza. The vaccine can be obtained by contacting the company directly and information on how to apply to purchase from this vaccine supply is provided in the MMWR, dated November 3, 2000.
