COLUMBUS, Ohio—Officials say Ohio should receive its first shipment of H1N1 influenza vaccine next week.
The state Department of Health says the initial 61,500 doses ordered from the federal government on Friday will be given primarily to health care and emergency workers.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the supply of vaccine mist should arrive in Ohio within six business days.
State health officials say in coming weeks, they expect to order vaccine shots for people in high-risk groups. They include pregnant women, children and young adults, caregivers of infants, and adults with chronic medical conditions.
The health department continues to urge Ohioans to protect themselves from swine flu through hand-washing and other measures.
