Last week, the county received 76,000 more doses of flu vaccine, which may have already been administered to high-risk patients, according to health officials. County officials don’t know whether health care providers have any of that vaccine left.
In previous weeks, San Mateo County was being given an unequal allotment of the flu vaccine by the state, so California health officials decided to prioritize new shipments to the county.
