ATLANTA (AP) - Health officials faced with meager supplies of swine flu vaccine last fall sent doses to some surprising places: cruise ship lines, Wall Street firms and the Johnson Space Center.
There is no complete database of where every dose went. But partial records show that financial institutions and other surprising recipients sometimes got doses before county health departments and doctor's offices. That was the finding from an Associated Press Freedom of Information request.
Health officials say at least 85 percent of doses went to the most vulnerable people. And other health experts say overall the vaccination campaign was a success.
