Hong Kong Flu Vaccine Scarce This Winter
The Hong Kong flu is expected to reach Kansas in late December or January. Doctors say vaccine supply will be limited and unlikely to help much. State epidemiologist Dr. Donald Wilcox notes early allocations favor the armed forces and civilians with chronic disease or the elderly may receive some. Existing vaccines may not work against the Hong Kong strain, but those who had a flu shot last year are advised to get at least one booster now.
