WASHINGTON (AP) _ A senior adviser to President Barack Obama
says the government will catch up to the demand for swine flu
vaccine within a week.

Obama adviser David Axelrod says the manufacturers of the
vaccine were wrong when they advised the administration earlier
this year that they would have 40 million doses ready near the end of October. Instead, only 28 million doses of vaccine were
available.

Axelrod says 10 million more doses are expected to be available
this week. He predicted that the U.S. will have all the vaccine it
needs "in very short order.''

The swine flu vaccination program began Oct. 5. The delivery of
the vaccine has frustrated people worried about the new H1N1 virus.

Axelrod appeared Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation.''
