Vaccine shortages reported as swine flu cases mount

Because of a spike in swine flu cases, there’s a shortage of flu shots at health clinics across the country, Army Radio reports. Several health care providers are ordering additional doses of the vaccine, but the drugs will only arrive in Israel in a matter of weeks.

At least two Palestinians and an Israeli have died of swine flu in recent weeks. Dozens of others are hospitalized with the flu strain.
