Swine flu vaccines go unused

ATLANTA - Georgia has millions of unused doses of swine flu vaccine and some local health departments are working hard to administer them before they expire.

State Department of Community Health officials say less than a third of Georgia's total allocation of 3.5 million total doses have been administered. That's 978,092 doses.

With only weeks left in a flu season that traditionally ends around late March, state and county health officials say they're faced with distributing a large amount of vaccine to a public that has largely lost interest in swine flu.

Lisa Crossman is director of clinical and prevention services at Cobb and Douglas Public Health. The Cobb/Douglas health agency has administered less than half of the doses intended for its own clinics and mass vaccination events. She says people just aren't interested.
