US to start swine-flu jabs within weeks
The first round of swine flu jabs in the US could begin sooner than expected, with some vaccine available as early as the first week of October, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said today.
Sebelius said she is confident the vaccine will be available early enough to beat the peak of the expected flu season this autumn and that early doses are intended for healthcare workers and other high-priority groups.
