U.Va. does not expect flu vaccine shortage

By Sanin Adnan | November 11, 2005

Unlike last year, flu vaccines are not expected to be in short supply at the University this year, according to Student Health Nursing Supervisor Karin Hancher. Chiron, the major supplier of flu vaccines for the University, was shut down last year, allowing only half the vaccines to be produced. "Everybody was short last year because this major company wasn't able to produce flu vaccine," Hancher said. The company had lost its FDA approval last year but regained permission to release its vaccines this year. Initially, a large amount of the vaccines produced this year was sent to the Gulf states, which meant the University could only receive sporadic deliveries, Hancher said.
