Vulnerable patients around Malta have been redirected to health centres as general practitioners have yet to receive thousands of flu vaccines ordered from the government.
The President of the Association of Private Family Doctors, Anthony Azzopardi, expressed his fear that vulnerable patients going to health centres would overload the health system.
The government of Malta has ordered another 50,000 flue shots which will arrive later in the season after the first 100,000 flu jabs were already made available and distributed within a record two weeks.
