The Department of Health has launched a nationwide vaccination campaign to immunise people at high risk of contracting the deadly H1N1 Swine Flu virus.
The department says people under the age of 15 and living with HIV/Aids, workers at points of entry, pregnant women and hospital staff qualify for the vaccination.
The second phase of the vaccinations will start next month and will focus on pregnant women, health workers and HIV infected adults.
A departmental spokesperson says 200 000 doses are available at present.
