Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
COLORADO SPRINGS, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- Colorado's influenza death toll among children has climbed to seven with reports a sixth-grader and a 20-month-old had died of complications from the flu.
As public health officials urged vaccinations, there were concerns of a vaccine shortage, the Denver Post reported.
"We were informed from our national suppliers that nationwide, they are out of flu vaccine," said Rosemary Bakes-Martin, director of the El Paso County Department of Health and Environment.
But, Dr. Ned Calonge, chief medical officer with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said there is enough to "vaccinate the people in Colorado who want to be vaccinated."
He added that officials were working to find an alternate supplier for El Paso County, which has enough vaccine for half of the 2,500 people on the list to receive shots.
Colorado has been hit hard by the virus. In October and November, 6,306 cases were confirmed, more than the total reported in Colorado during the past two years
