DEMAND | At a glance
No more lines: Demand for flu vaccine in the United States is dwindling as the supply becomes more plentiful.
The reason: Public health officials hope it's because they've reached the people who need the vaccine the most: babies, the aged and the infirm. They acknowledge that frustration and apathy could also play a part.
The prognosis: Officials say it's too soon to tell whether more people will get sick and die this year because of the vaccine shortage. The peak flu month is February.
