A normal flu season is under way in North Jersey with plenty of vaccines available or expected soon, a far cry from the long lines and chaos that erupted last year over scarce supplies of the swine flu vaccine.

Also different this year, health officials are advising everyone to get vaccinated, not just the elderly or those at high risk.
