| Description: "St. Louis county has a million people in it so it gets the most. Jackson County is divided among three different health departments, so, it would be that they get the most, but some go to Jackson County Health Department, some would go to the Independence Health Department, some would go to the Kansas City Health Department." | |
Wagar says the state receives new shipments of the H1N1 vaccine every day.
