Canada isn’t sharing their flu vaccine supply: “The stuff that’s sitting in my fridge isn’t for them.”
Update:
Waiting some four hours for the flu vaccine caused someone to collapse and die.
You can blame the lawyers for the flu vaccine shortage (via Medpundit):
Whether doctors are quitting the profession because of an out-of-control tort system, whether malpractice premiums are the cause of health care increases–such hardy perennials of the litigation debate are still a subject of lively controversy. But with vaccines there is no argument. Trial lawyers have all but ruined the market. Yet they are still unwilling to take responsibility.

Interesting article. I found Bush’s response in the last debate (we’re working with canada) to be a weak spot and I’m surprised no one has nailed him on it. With this year’s flu debacle, maybe public health will be tossed a bone by either possible administration.
Also – I think you have culled an excellent list of links in the right-handed column. I hope to check more out today… i’ll add your link to my site if that’s alright.
