Two state and city public health officials briefing Congress on Wednesday say they don't expect to have enough pandemic flu vaccine to meet the needs of their high-priority population groups until well into December, and possibly not until January.
The officials said their predictions are the consequence of maddening vaccine shortages throughout the fall, but amount to little more than guesses.
Federal health officials at the same briefing refused to endorse the gloomy timetable -- or any other one -- although they did acknowledge the current wave of H1N1 influenza may be mostly over by the time vaccine is abundant.
