Answer: A, B, C
During 2009, there was an outbreak of H1N1 influenza. Initially an inadequate supply of vaccine was available, but as H1N1 began to spread, the CDC realized that guidelines had to be developed and implemented to ensure that the most vulnerable individuals had first access to the vaccine. As more vaccine became available, the CDC controlled its distribution by considering factors such as the amount of vaccine being requested by local health departments, the speed at which the vaccine was becoming available, and the need to ensure availability for not only the community but also active-duty military personnel.
