Judy Strait-Jones, projects coordinator in the immunization program at the Department of Health, said there will be an adequate supply of vaccine once it gets here. Strait-Jones added that residents can check with their doctors on the availability of the vaccine. Strait-Jones said the delay was caused by manufacturing problems. She said one component of the vaccine took longer than expected to grow. The vaccine normally is available by early September, but Strait-Jones said it's OK for people to get their shots as late as December.
People are good if they're getting it now.
