Vaccine shortage threatens Sweden

Sweden's socialist health care system isn't paradise on earth:
Sweden has the second-worst supply of Influenza vaccines in the western world, according to a new report commissioned by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The country's low number of available vaccines diminishes the prospect of Sweden having enough to be able to cope with the next major pandemic, noted industry paper Dagens Medicin: the quantity of vaccines that a country may buy is based on early consumption of the Influenza vaccine.
Does it make you want national health care here?
