The federal government has decided five groups should be first in line for swine flu vaccines:
-Children and young people through age 24
-People caring for infants under 6 months
-Pregnant women
-Health care workers
-People aged 25-64 with health conditions that put them at high risk of flu complications. Those include cancer, blood disorders, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disorders, liver disease and neurological disorders such as muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis. People with weakened immune systems also get priority.
