Washington (CNN) -- The first shipment of H1N1 vaccine set aside for U.S. troops deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan arrived late Tuesday, but it contains only half the amount requested.
The vaccine was at a base in Qatar and was to be distributed to bases in the region within 24 hours of its arrival there, according to Pentagon officials.
The U.S. Central Command, which includes Iraq and Afghanistan, asked for 300,000 doses to vaccinate U.S. troops in the war zones and other areas of the Middle East, but only about 150,000 have shown up, said Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell.
