Henry, bad time to have a flu vaccine shortage:

mercurynews.com

"America is heading into the flu season with about 56 million doses of flu vaccine. In each of the past two years, 83 million people got the shots."

Capitalism fails when there are reportedly only two main suppliers, and the one losses its license.

So where do old people, babies and pregnant women go for a flu vaccine, when their doctors tell them they don't have any supply yet due to the production failure (which is what doctors are saying now.)

Regards,
Amy J
