(AP) - The Food and Drug Administration approved the
new swine flu vaccine Tuesday, a long-anticipated step as the
government works to get vaccinations under way next month.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced
the vaccine's approval to Congress - and says she hopes to get the
first limited supplies distributed early in October.
The bulk of vaccine will start arriving Oct. 15, and Sebelius
said eventually it should be available at 90,000 sites around the
country.
Sebelius said there will be enough vaccine available for
everyone eventually, but that certain people get at the front of
the line - including children and pregnant women.
