Norway:
Mass vaccination
against swine flu
The Norwegian health authorities will this fall begin a program of mass vaccination against the A H1N1 flu, also called the swine flu. A total of 9.4 million doses have been ordered from the suppliers.
All will be given two innoculations, two weeks apart, Bergens Tidende reports. The total cost will be NOK 650 million.
So far, only 23 cases of the flu has been diagnosed in Norway, but the authorities expect that the number will increase.
