Most of the waste occurred because they initially thought 2 doses would be needed, and by the time data started coming in showing 1 dose was enough the order had already been made. Also, if the flu had turned out to be another Spanish Flu there would have been a lot more people getting it, and running out completely would've been a major public relations disaster. However, I think they should have donated the excess supply to 3rd world countries as soon as they realized they wouldn't need it.
