Member Center:
SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) -- County health officials are warning anyone hoping to get vaccinated against the H1N1 virus that local clinics are out of the vaccine.
Officials could not say when more vaccine doses would arrive. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that it would not be able to meet the estimates it provided earlier in the year for delivering the vaccine to local clinics.
To date, the county has received approximately 208,000 doses of the vaccine. An unexpected shipment delivered 78,000 doses at the end of October, most of which were distributed to pregnant women and children.
The H1N1 virus, or swine flu, is being blamed for 28 deaths in the county and has hospitalized nearly 500 more.
News 8’s Doug Kolk reports from Kearny Mesa with the complete story.
