ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A shortage of available H1N1 vaccines has forced the Municipality of Anchorage to postpone a vaccination clinic for the second time in a week.
Last week the city postponed a scheduled clinic for Nov. 2, and on Friday it delayed the Nov. 14 clinic.
"While we expect to eventually be able to offer H1N1 flu vaccine the general public, we are currently focusing on priority risk groups," said Diane Ingle, Director of the Municipal Department of Health and Human Services.
"The Municipality continues to support the Anchorage School District's vaccination efforts and is ensuring vaccine is available to local pharmacies and healthcare providers in an effort to reach the targeted priority population."
The next clinic is scheduled for Nov. 21.
