Leftover Swine Flu Vaccine in Fargo

MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) - Swine flu vaccine is in high demand

around the country. But officials say only half of the stock of

H1N1 FluMist vaccine was used up during Fargo-Moorhead's first

public vaccination clinic.

Officials administered 750 of the 1,500 available doses Thursday

at the clinic at Minnesota State University Moorhead.

Fargo Cass Public Health spokeswoman Theresa Orecchia says

officials are surprised that more people didn't show up. A clinic

for North Dakota residents is scheduled Saturday at Fargo North

High School.

The remaining doses in Clay County will be given to area health

care providers to distribute among targeted groups, which include

young children, caregivers for infants, and health care and

emergency personnel.
