Washington DC....THE REGION

Health Departments Out of Flu Vaccine

Health department officials across the Washington region reported yesterday that they had run out of influenza vaccine and urged residents to take other precautions against the virus.


Maryland's top health officer, Nelson Sabatini, encouraged rationing the remaining doses and said the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is preparing to redistribute the supply to areas with the greatest need.

Officials in Montgomery and Frederick counties and Northern Virginia said an unusually strong demand exhausted their supplies and will halt flu shot clinics, including one scheduled tomorrow at the Dennis Avenue Health Center in Silver Spring.
