Mary Upton (Dublin South Central, Labour)

We have just been told by the Department of Health and Children that 400,000 people here are at risk from swine flu. We have been waiting since last April to get a vaccine and that vaccine has now been produced. Could someone tell us when that vaccine will be made available to those at risk? The HSE tells us to ask the immunisation centre, which tells us to go the local GP, who then says he does not know when the vaccine will be delivered.
