D.C. reported yesterday that it has vaccinated more than 11,000 people and still has enough vaccine to host more vaccination clinics for priority groups. However, the city is scaling back the number of clinics and will start to distribute the vaccine, as more becomes available, to pediatricians, family physicians and community health centers. There will still be 5 clinics per week for those of you planning to get the vaccine soon.
Meanwhile, there's no new word in Montgomery about more vaccine becoming available. As of Oct. 30, the CDC reports the following number of doses shipped to our area: 49,000 to D.C.; 306,900 to Maryland and 489,700 to Virginia.
In addition, the flu is widespread in nearly every state.D.C. is one of the few places where the virus is localized versus widespread. More and more, it seems like most folks will get H1N1 before they have a chance to get vaccinated, as David Brown reported in The Washington Post yesterday.
