(KSL News) Utah's homeless population may have a difficult time getting flu shots this season.

Salt Lake's Fourth Street Clinic lacks a private flu-shot sponsor for the first time in years.

The clinic has funds to administer just 500 shots. Administrators originally hoped to distribute 1,300.

Clinic administrators say homeless people are especially vulnerable to the flu, which can trigger more severe medical problems.
