Malaysia : Govt mulls over getting more H1N1 vaccine

Via The Star :

" KOTA KINABALU: The Government is reviewing whether there is a need to increase supplies of the Influenza A (H1N1) vaccine.

About 43,000 doses were available now, Deputy Health Minister Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin said.

“So far, 323,703 people have been vaccinated,” she told reporters after attending the Kaamatan celebrations in Penampang near here.

She said the illness was still prevalent, adding that people in the high risk group should get the vaccination available in government hospitals and clinics.

Those not in the high-risk group could obtain the injections at private clinics and hospitals, she added."
