Alaska: 24,000+
Additional Flu Shots Coming Soon to Alaska Providers; Still not
enough for entire population, shots will be restricted to high
risk only - The Alaska Department of Health & Social
Services (DHSS), Division of Public Health announced Tuesday
that they are in the process of distributing an additional 24,000
flu vaccine doses recently received from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. Most providers have not received this
vaccine yet, but it should be available to Alaskans within the
next two weeks.
State and local health officials
and the CDC have worked together to assure that all available

Jointly, they have developed a formula to determine the fairest
allocation for each state that takes into account the number
of high risk individuals in each state and the number of doses
that have already been shipped to each state. - More...
