I don't know if most Americans know why there is a shortage of flu vaccines.
For the most part this problem has its genesis with the previous administration, and their government plan of vaccinations "for all Americans."
To make the vaccines more affordable, President Clinton decided that the private manufacturers should sell them at very low profit --in order to make them available to all Americans.
As a result, instead of 5 companies making vaccines, we have only one or two.
Essentially, the Government forced private companies to be charitable --or get out of the vaccine-making industry!
