Because of questions about the vaccine supply, federal officials want high-risk groups to get their flu shots and are asking doctors to hold off on giving the shots to healthy adults until Oct. 24 at the earliest.

The government hasn't yet predicted just how much flu vaccine the nation will have this fall. Last year there was a surprise shortage after British regulators shut down a U.S. supplier, Chiron Corp., because of the discovery of contaminated vaccine.

Gerberding said officials are expecting between 71 million and 97 million doses to be available, depending on how much Chiron can supply this year.
