ATLANTA (AP) — A new national poll found that only about a third of adults who have tried to get a swine flu vaccine have been able to get it. The numbers are about the same for parents who tried to get the vaccine for their children.
Swine flu vaccine has been available for about a month. But supplies have been limited because of manufacturing delays. The shots are only supposed to be go to those at high risk of complications.
The Harvard School of Public Health telephone poll also found that half of those who tried couldn't find information about where to get the vaccine.
The survey of 1,000 adults was conducted last weekend and the results released Friday. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
