FDA approves new swine flu vaccine
The Food and Drug Administration approved the new swine flu vaccine
Tuesday, a long-anticipated step as the government works to start mass
vaccinations next month. Limited supplies should start trickling out
the first week of October -- about a week earlier than expected, Health
and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told Congress. Then
about 45 million doses should arrive around Oct. 15, followed by more
shipments each week.
She said they'll be available at up to
90,000 sites, including schools and clinics, across the U.S. that state
health departments have chosen as best at getting the shots out fast.[AP]
