The influenza vaccines are universal, in that a large proportion of
the US anticipated stock was to be made in Liverpool, UK, except that
the British authorities closed a manufacturing plant down and so there
is a shortage of supply. The UK sources its own vaccines from several
suppliers and is less dependent on one source. However, different
countries may choose different vaccine combinations to supply to their
citizens depending on the perceived risks of different strains of
influenza virus (there is no *one* flu vaccine).

At Tokyo Narita there are medical clinics on B1F of each terminal.

Terminal 2 / Nippon Medical School Narita International Airport Clinic
