Low-Risk Canadians Asked To Wait A Little Longer


By: Jason White News 88.9 Staff


 

 TORONTO, ONT. - Public health officials are appealing to Canadians at lower risk of catching H1N1, to wait a little longer.

Canada's top doctor says there will be enough vaccine for everyone, eventually.

Chief Medical Health Officer, Dr. David Butler-Jones admits more people want the vaccine than they had expected and the company making the vaccine underestimated how much a switch on the production line, would affect its output.

GlaxoSmithKline will only be able to make slightly more than 400-thousand doses of the vaccine this week -- compared with the one (m) million or so expected.

Ontario is pledging to double the number of immunization clinics this week for high-priority groups.
