Less than 7 percent of Indiana residents have been vaccinated against the H1N1 flu strain since early October.

An Indiana Department of Health weekly flu report released Wednesday said almost 439,000 doses of the H1N1 vaccine have been given this fall to 6.8 percent of the state's population. And just 12 percent of Hoosiers considered at high risk of the flu or flu complications have been vaccinated.
