Two squirts of H1N1 spray vaccine up the nose may not sound like fun -- but some Utahns are lining up for the experience.

At least three local health departments are out of H1N1 FluMist, which arrived in the state earlier this week.

In eastern Utah's Uinta Basin, the TriCounty Health Department had 400 doses. "They wiped us out in nothing flat," said department spokeswoman Jeramie Tubbs. "We're turning people away."

The Weber-Morgan and Bear River health departments have also run out of the H1N1 FluMist, which is approved for use in healthy people ages 2 to 49 who are not pregnant.

Some departments expect another H1N1 vaccine shipment next week; others are uncertain when more will come.

Davis County health officials expect to run out of H1N1 doses on Monday, said spokesman Bob Ballew. High demand this week drew the attention of department director Lewis Garrett and Sally Kershisnik, a division director, he said.

While heading into a meeting, the two -- both registered nurses -- spotted the waiting line and instead pitched in to help administer the nasal spray, Ballew said.

Pam Davenport, spokeswoman for the Salt Lake Valley Health Department, said between 4,000 and 4,200 of its 11,000 doses were given out between Wednesday and Friday.

"We're pleased with (the turnout)," she said. "The first day was kind of crazy."

After offering H1N1 nasal spray at three clinics, the Summit County Health

Department has about 125 doses remaining, spokeswoman Katie Mullaly said Friday. Few people sought the FluMist at a clinic held in Coalville, but demand was higher in Park City and the 100 doses allocated for a clinic in Kamas were all taken.

"It was great. I was really happy to see we had that kind of turnout," Mullaly said.

At the Utah County Health Department, demand has not been as high as officials anticipated. Spokesman Lance Madigan said the county's 5,300 doses are expected to last through the beginning of next week.

The Southeast Utah Health Department will begin administering its 400 doses on Tuesday at several locations, including Price, Castle Dale, Moab and Blanding, said spokeswoman Terrie Wright.

Some departments have limited eligibility to health care professionals, such as Wasatch County. Such workers will be offered its 200 doses at clinicsWednesday through Friday, said spokeswoman Jonelle Fitzgerald.

Some Utah departments have also run out or are running low on seasonal flu vaccine, including Bear River, Davis, Tri-County, Southeast and Weber-Morgan.

Parents who are bringing in children -- one of Weber-Morgan's eligible groups for H1N1 spray -- seem to be figuring they'll get a seasonal vaccination while they're at it, said spokewoman Lori Buttars.

Madigan said Utah County has already given out 10,000 flu shots and is waiting to receive the remaining 5,000 shots in its allotment.

It's "logical" that concern about a swine-flu pandemic is driving demand for seasonal flu shots, he said. "For us to run out this early in the season is unusual," Madigan said.
