Survey: only 1/3 of Adults able to get H1N1 vaccine

Shouldn't be happening. Its ironic we're debating health care reform, and millions of Americans are not getting needed vaccines. Doesn't tell you something about the current system? Is this an argument for reform? But will the Democrats "reform" really fix the system?

in reference to:

"Only about a third of adults who have tried to get a swine flu vaccine have been able to get it, according to a national poll released Friday. That's true even for people who are at extra risk for severe complications and should be at the front of the line. The numbers are about the same for parents who tried to get the vaccine for their children, the Harvard School of Public Health poll found. Swine flu vaccine has been available in the United States for about a month, but supplies have been limited because of manufacturing delays. However, availability is picking up, said Dr. Anne Schuchat of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 38 million doses of swine flu vaccine are currently available, a one-week increase of about 11 million doses. Another 8 million doses are expected next week, she added."
