“With seasonal flu, 90 percent of fatalities occur in people 65 and over,” she said.

Wouldn't that suggest that seasonal flu vaccine should be made available with those over 65 as a priority? (seaonal flu vaccine shortage alert!)

Exactly! My mother's lung doctor informed us that they weren't getting any more seasonal flu vaccine. In other words, doctors are not being given access to THAT vaccine. He advised her to get the flu shot anywhere she could and as soon as she could. Apparently outfits like drug stores and grocery stores that offer the vaccine have the most supply, vs. physicians, because they pre-order in bulk. The government is orchestrating this entire fiasco.
