Sebelius Says U.S. Will Donate Part of H1N1 Vaccine Supply to Foreign Nations Before Meeting This Nation’s Demand

(CNSNews.com) – Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told CNSNews.com Wednesday that one in 10 doses of the swine-flu vaccine purchased by the U.S. will be donated to other nations before U.S. demand is filled.

Sebelius also told a Senate committee that vaccine production is well behind demand.

“What we said is once we have 40 million doses (of the vaccine), the donation can start,” Sebelius told CNSNews.com. “There’s an agreement (of) 10 percent donation that 11 nations have made,” she said.

HHS has ordered about 250 million doses of the vaccine, so the donation would begin after the U.S. received just 16 percent of its original order.

All that government hype about how dangerous the pig flu is, and they're sending vaccine overseas when there's a shortage here at home.

The only part of US manufactured vaccines that should be going over seas are those intended for the military stationed there.

Fox News had a doctor on yesterday saying that there's a delay in distribution that hasn't been seen in other years. He blamed it on the fact that the Fed has taken over distribution this year more completely than in the past.
