While over in Canada, the Public Health Agency says the federal government will order 50.4 million doses of vaccines for the A/H1N1 flu. The chief public health officer says that's enough to give one dose to every Canadian, or two doses to 75 percent of the population.

The total cost will be more than four hundred million Canadian dollars, and the government will pick up 60 percent. People could start receiving their first shots before Christmas. The agency has yet to decide whether a second shot is needed.
