For the second consecutive day, H1N1 flu clinics scheduled for Wednesday in Chesterfield County are being postponed because of a lack of vaccines.
Clinics scheduled for Thursday aren't looking promising, either.
Chesterfield County Health Department Director William R. Nelson said today he ordered more than 32,000 doses and, at most, he may receive 5,000.
"It's not coming off the assembly line fast enough," Nelson said.
Tonight's clinics were postponed after those held at four elementary schools Monday night used up the county's entire supply -- 1,320 doses.
Nelson also addressed complaints about the clinic held at Clover Hill Elementary on Monday, in which some parents waited more than four hours for their children to be vaccinated. He said he's heard that parents were upset because adults were vaccinated along with students.
"If people insist on being vaccinated, we cannot turn them away," he said. However, "the school-based program was intended to vaccinate children."
At one point, Nelson said he took a bullhorn outside and explained to those waiting in line that if adults received vaccinations, children wouldn't get them.
"Once the adults understood that, they all stepped aside," he said.
Wednesday's clinics were scheduled at Providence, Alberta Smith, Bellwood and Crenshaw elementary schools.
Thursday's were scheduled for Bon Air, Curtis and Bensley elementary schools.:tiphat:http://www2.timesdispatch.com/rtd/news/local/article/SFLUGAT20_20091020-172601/300479/
