Chase - AHN News Editor Washington, D.C., United States (AHN) - 71 million doses of unused H1N1 flu vaccines the federal government purchased to fight an expected flu pandemic may be discarded when they expire soon. The vaccines were individual packaged which dramatically decreases their shelf life. The federal government purchased 229 million vaccine doses at a cost of 1.6 billion. According to estimates only 91 million were actually given out by the end of February. Federal officials in a Washington Post report reveal some of the doses will be donated to poor countries and the US will keep about 35 million doses in bulk form. Government officials say the surplus is a result of delays in rolling out the vaccine. By the time the doses had arrived pandemic fears were not as prevalent in people's minds. Since the onset of the H1N1flu outbreak a year ago, the CDC estimates that more than 60 million people in the U.S. fell ill to the virus, at least 265,000 were hospitalized and more than 12,000 died. Health officials in Solano County, Ca. announced on Wednesday that a woman in her 20s died of the H1N1 flu.
