TAZEWELL, Va. (AP) -- Health officials say Virginians and West Virginians will have access to plenty of flu vaccine this flu season.
Dr. John Dreyzehner, director of the Cumberland Plateau Health District in southwestern Virginia, says a record 160 million doses have been made available nationwide, so there should be plenty for everyone who wants a flu shot. Dreyzehner says his district expects to receive the vaccine within the week.
Judy Bolton, a public health nurse with the Mercer County Health Department in West Virginia, tells the Bluefield Daily Telegraph that residents of that state will have access to the shots Sept. 14.
Bolton says this years vaccine will include a strain of the H1N1 vaccine as well as other types of flu that were prominent last flu season.
