"Vaccination supplies are expected to be plentiful this year and people were urged to begin getting flu vaccinations in October and November. With enough vaccine supply to meet demand, anyone - regardless of age or health status - should be able to get vaccinated..."
The interesting thing is, this excerpt ( BTW it is from
http://www.apha.org/journal/nation/flucover1103.htm Don't you hate it when posters don't support their assertions with citiations?) is from an article not even a month old. I am not inclined to think that production was low because of less manufacturers, but rather fell short due to unexpected demand. In which case implicates the media in my POV.

The one assertion of cpst's I agree with is media hype. I suspect actual flu numbers are only slighty higher than previous years, if that. What is higher is the hype. I get the feeling that if Michael Jackson was looking guilty, or some such trash news story, that we'd be hearing a lot less about the flu and vaccine shortages.
