TRAVERSE CITY -- Three swine flu clinic planned for the Traverse City Area Public Schools are being postponed due to a vaccine shortage.
Friday Central Grade School's clinic was cancelled. Next week two more are also put on hold, vaccinations planned for West Middle School on Monday, and Thursday's clinic at East Middle School will be rescheduled for a later date.
The Grand Traverse County Health Department says the rest of the clinics scheduled are expected to take place. The three that had to be cancelled will be rescheduled when more vaccines are available.
