ALABAMA - Alabama's swine flu vaccine shipments are way behind schedule.

State health officer Don Williamson says the slow arrival of the vaccine is throwing off plans for mass vaccinations at schools.

Alabama expected to have at least 570-thousand doses by the end of October.

But Williamson says the state will be lucky to have 300-thousand by then.

The nation reacts as the swine flu spreads throughout the United States. Keep up to date on the latest information and what you need to do to keep your family safe.
