Poll: Few who want H1N1 vaccine can get it

November

A new poll from shows that most people who tried to get the swine flu vaccine for themselves or their children were unable to receive it.
The poll by the Harvard School of Public Health showed that only 30 percent of adults who tried to get it for themselves were able to obtain the vaccine.
It also showed that only 34 percent of parents were able to get the H1N1 vaccine for their children.
The poll found that 82 percent of the people asked believe there is a shortage of H1N1 vaccine in the United States, and approximately 4 in 10 think that is a major problem for the country. More than half of adults, 60 percent, believe there is a shortage of H1N1 vaccine in their community.
Forty percent believe there will still not be enough H1N1 flu vaccine by the end of November for everyone in their community who wants it.
