HAZARD, Ky. (AP) -- Now that swine flu vaccine has become widely available, eastern Kentucky health officials say they're struggling with a short supply of seasonal flu vaccine.
  

WYMT-TV in Hazard quoted registered nurse Heather Sparkman of the Perry County Health Department saying a lot of people who normally get flu shots haven't been able to get one this year.
  

Health officials urge people to take advantage of the now-plentiful swine flu shot availability and say they hope to get increased regular flu vaccine later.
