    Butler-Jones rolls up sleeve at Ottawa clinic for H1N1 vaccine
    By: THE CANADIAN PRESS

    OTTAWA - Canada's top doc finally got the swine-flu shot.

    Dr. David Butler-Jones says he rolled up his sleeve Wednesday at an Ottawa clinic.

    Canada's chief public health officer says he waited until the end of the day for his needle to avoid being spotted by TV cameras.

    Butler-Jones said his arm wasn't sore yet from the injection.

    He appeared before a House of Commons committee to give an update on the rollout of the H1N1 vaccine.

    Butler-Jones says by Christmas there will be enough vaccine for 75 per cent of the Canadian population, and everyone who wants the shot will be able to get it.
