WASHINGTON —

The White House says President Barack Obama is frustrated by delays in making enough vaccine for everyone who wants protection from the swine flu.

Press secretary Robert Gibbs said Friday the president is frustrated knowing that thousands of people are waiting in long lines at vaccine clinics around the country only to be turned away because of vaccine shortages.

He said Obama won't be satisfied until everyone who wants a swine flu shot can get one.

The administration initially predicted that 120 million doses of the vaccine would be ready by mid-October. That was later cut to 45 million.

Gibbs said Friday more than 26 million doses are available. He blamed manufacturers for the delays.
