Quebec may not have enough vaccine for everyone until after Christmas or even New Year's, long after the second wave of swine flu has peaked, health officials confirmed yesterday.

Poirier said of H1N1 vaccine made in Canada by GlaxoSmitKline.

More than 1.45 million people have been vaccinated.

The average age of those dying from swine flu is 62.3 year old.

But in a small sample of children, a half dose with adjuvant (輔助)was enough to provide protection, said Dr. François Boucher, a pediatrician and member of the provincial immunization committee.
Critics say the H1N1 outbreak might be over before most people get their shot. Critics 說,在多數人得到接種之前,H1N1的爆發可能已結束。
