Supply of H1N1 Vaccine Rises, Government Urging More People to Get Shots

After months of struggling with an acute shortage, the vaccine to fight H1N1 is now finally valuable in large quantities, and long lines outside medical centers and clinics have now slowly started to dissolve.

Despite the fact that the infection has slowed down, and the crisis situation seems to be under control, Government health officials are still urging people across America to not take any chances and get vaccinated.

"We have a chance to lessen the impact or even prevent a third wave, and we need to seize that opportunity right now", said Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Recently, when the H1N1 vaccine was being offered at an Alabama elementary school, only about 20% of the children actually received a shot that would protect them against swine flu, and "H1N1 fatigue" seem to be part of the reason why the number were so less, according to Donald Williamson, Alabama's State Health Officer.

On Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shared that an estimated 60 million people across the country have been vaccinated against Swine Flu, while stressing that people should still be getting these shots more actively.
