The Stanislaus County Health Services Agency, area hospitals and medical groups reported Thursday that they had not been contacted by anyone trying to sell flu vaccine at inflated prices.

State Attorney General Bill Lockyer warned Wednesday that his office would go after anyone inflating vaccine prices as a way to exploit the national shortage. Lockyer added, however, that he had not received any complaints of price gouging.

David Jones, spokesman for the county Health Services Agency, said nobody had contacted the county's pharmacy offering vaccine at inflated prices. Officials at Doctors Medical Center, Memorial Medical Center and Hy-Lond Convalescent Hospital, all in Modesto, and Emanuel Medical Center in Turlock all said they had not been contacted, either. Nor had Sutter Gould Medical Foundation, McHenry Medical Group, Family Health Care Medical Group or Family Medical Group, all of Modesto.
