Distribution of swine flu vaccines has been completed

Friday morning, almost all of the 95,000 doses of the H1N1 vaccine that the Czech Republic was given were distributed to physicians and vaccination centers across the nation. Almost 90 percent of all physicians and 133 vaccination centers now have the substance in stock. Full-scale vaccination can begin next week and some doctors were able to start on Friday already. The head of the Czech Immunology Society Roman Prymula said on Thursday that swine flu caused more health complications and resulted in more deaths than the seasonal flu. Three regions of the Czech Republic have now reached the threshold of an epidemic and eight Czechs have died of the disease so far.
