H1N1 spreading throughout local health regions
Public demand for the H1N1 vaccine remains high in the province.
The Prince Albert Parkland Health Region experienced a shortage this week, resulting in the flu clinic at McIntosh Mall being cancelled on Monday. On Tuesday, after a shipment of the vaccine arrived in the city, people waited in line for close to an hour to get their flu shot.
It's the same situation in the Kelsey Trail Health Region.
“At this time of year, we don't expect to give more vaccine, but because of the more cases there is surging demand,” medical health officer, Dr. Mohammed Khan.
