I grew up in CA but live abroad, now. I am visiting CA this month & read in paper today that 12 million doses of H1N1 jab have been given, and that there are "enough" doses still available for "everyone" else to have H1N1 if they want it.
But I also read doses still available for H1N1 described in terms of tens of thousands -- what I mean is, there are 36 million people resident in CA but less than a million doses available for the 24 million who haven't yet been vacced.
Even if you consider all the people who genuinely don't want H1N1 jab, or who already had H1N1, or who don't know that an H1N1 jab exists -- I can't believe that they add up to 24 million.
But my dad (who lives in CA) had his H1N1 jab from a free clinic, so apparently cost isn't an issue. Or is it???
Sorry if this seems like silly/naive question, but I didn't quite get how this vacc programme is supposed to work if something like only 35% of the population gets the vacc. Tell me where my logic is wrong ?
