As of Friday, Virginia has been allocated 400,00 doses of the H1N1 vaccine.

“About 60 percent of those are the injectable vaccine and the other 40 percent are the nasal mist,” says State Health Commissioner Dr. Karen Remley.

This is less than the state was originally expecting.

According to the Virginia Department of health, all of those vaccines are in the hands of health care providers or in transit.

“The vaccine availability will increase over the next couple weeks, but we do not anticipate the vaccine being widely available, meaning that anybody in the state of Virginia will be able to have access to it, for at least a month,” says Remley.

Currently, Virginia is seeing an all-time high of patients going to urgent care and emergency rooms with flu-like symptoms.

“Fourteen-point-two percent of visits to urgent care and emergency rooms are patients with flu-like symptoms. In the past two seasonal flu years, we saw that number around 7.2 percent,” says Remley.
