The Government say that swine flu vaccinations will begin in the UK next week (21/10/2009).
The first group to be vaccinated is those in hospital, pregnant women and those with existing health problems. After these people have been vaccinated GPs will start to call in patients from priority groups.
There are four priority groups:
- 1. Individuals aged six months to 65 years with underlying health problems and the immuno-supressed, which includes chemotherapy patients.
- 2. Pregnant women
- 3. Household contacts of people with compromised immune systems
- 4. Individuals aged over 65 with health problems
