N.Korea Submits Vaccine Distribution Report

The South Korean Ministry of Unification said North Korea has sent over a report on how the South’s aid of H1N1 flu vaccines was distributed. South Korea had provided the North with vaccines for 500-thousand people on December 18th, 2009.

A ministry official said the North Korean Red Cross reported details as to how Tamiflu for 300-thousand people and Relenza for 80-thousand people were evenly distributed in Pyongyang as well as cities and provinces around North Korea.

The remaining 100-thousand people’s worth of Tamiflu and 20-thousand vaccinations’ worth of Relenza were reportedly stockpiled by the North Korean emergency quarantine authority.

The two Korean governments had previously agreed that the North would submit a report by Monday on how the doses of new flu vaccines for 500-thousand people donated to the Communist state were used.
