The Croatian ministry of health fears that soon it will have to burn 59.4 million Kuna (11.7 million USD) in unused swine flu vaccinations. Originally, 1.5 million batches of the vaccine were ordered. However, according public health, only 15,000 to 20,000 batches have been used. These vaccines need to be used up quickly as they only last for six months. If they are not used the remaining vaccines will literally be burnt.
Health Minister Darko Milinovic was given a public swine flu vaccination along with his family but the swine flu movement has slowed to a crawl. The health ministry is currently running a campaign of newspaper ads and tv commercials to get people out and vaccinated.
So why is it that Croatia seems unpertubed by this new super flu virus?
