Vaccine manufacturers in Zhejiang Province finished the production ordered by the state, and transported the doses to neighboring provinces.

Provincial disease control and prevention departments in Liaoning also stored additional vaccines incase of an emergency breakout.

The country stored enough A/H1N1 vaccines to inoculate 13 million people. The state ordered an additional 15 million doses.

The Health Ministry plans to finish the vaccination of 65 million people by the end of the year. The vaccination will be self-imposed and free.

Monitoring adverse reactions to the vaccine has also been tightened. Doctors remind the public that slight symptoms of fever, vomiting and fatigue are normal. And those who have taken the vaccine should not use antibiotics for two weeks.
