Huge Proportion Of Swine Flu Vaccines Binned

More than 7.5 million of the 19 million doses of swine flu vaccine bought by the Australian federal government for more than $100 million could be wasted, after a survey found 42 per cent of doses distributed to a sample of GPs ended up in the bin. One flu expert yesterday said the findings, published in today's edition of the Medical Journal of Australia, showed the swine flu vaccine program had been "a monetary and strategic mistake". The authors said the results showed wastage was "substantial" and "if similar wastage occurred nationally, over 7.5 million of the 19 million doses available to Australians could be wasted".
