Distributor of Flu Vaccine Comes Under Fire
The distributor, Henry Schein Inc., and its
subsidiaries are the exclusive suppliers in the
United States of vaccine made by Medeva, a British
company that is the only flu vaccine producer that
has not had manufacturing problems this year.

Some Schein customers that ordered early, at low
prices, said in interviews over the last week that
they had received only partial shipments or no
vaccine at all. At the same time, Schein is taking
new orders at higher prices, and at least some of
those orders have been quickly delivered.
