Atlanta » Hundreds of thousands of swine flu shots for children have been recalled because tests indicate the vaccine doses lost some strength, government health officials said Tuesday.

Montgomery County’s Health and Human Services currently has intranasal H1N1 vaccine (nasal spray) only.

They have NO injectable H1N1 flu vaccine (shots) at this time.

Those in target groups who CANNOT receive nasal spray should continue checking this site for information on clinics for injectable vaccine. While we have ordered injectable and nasal spray vaccine, we have not received any additional supplies at this time.
