Debra Aplan, R.N., who is the nurse administrator for the immunization program in Montgomery County, was glad to see the turnout.

A quick telephone survey of four chain pharmacies (and one independent pharmacy) in Maryland, Virginia and the District found only one of them with a robust supply of intramuscular flu vaccine.
