Health officials say high demand and limited availability are to blame for the shortage. The county is expected to receive additional H1N1 vaccine in the coming weeks and months, but there's no information on an exact date.

Vaccinations may still be available from private providers. Residents are urged to contact their primary care physicians to get the H1N1 vaccine.
