A(H1N1) campaign "successful"- Halabi

Only one case of reaction has so far been reported. Halabi says people understood the rationale behind the vaccination and came in large numbers. The first leg of the campaign, which was aimed at health workers, officers at ports of entry, pregnant women and people with chronic conditions aged between11 and 64, started on June 21 and ended on June 29.

Halabi says the campaign has been so successful that the only delay encountered was shortage of the vaccine.But Central Medical Stores (CMS) availed more vaccines and the situation was brought under control.
