>The only time the debate touched on Britain was in a discussion of
>the shortage of flu vaccines in the US following a decision by
>British authorities to remove the licence from the subsidiary of a US
>company producing them in Liverpool. While Senator Kerry took the
>episode as an indicator of the poor state of healthcare under the
>Bush administration, the president tried to claim credit for the
>move, saying: "We relied on a company out of England to produce about
>half of the flu vaccines ... we took the right action and didn't
>allow contaminated medicine into our country ... My call to our
>fellow Americans is if you're healthy, if you're younger, don't get a
>flu shot this year."
>Asked why the president had suggested that it was the fault of a
>foreign company and that the US government and not British health
>authorities had decided to revoke the company's licence, Bush
>campaign manager Ken Mehlman, said: "I can't answer that question."
