Australia to Offer Free H1N1 Vaccine to All Residents

Canberra, Australia (AHN) – The Australian Department of Health and Aging has announced it will voluntarily vaccinate all 21.8 million residents against the H1N1 swine flu. The free effort will be the largest, most complicated mass vaccination in Australia’s history.

In a statement, the Health Department explained,  “From today all States and Territories began offering vaccine to adults and children 10 years and over. Once the vaccine is registered for younger children by the Therapeutic Goods Administration, children will also be eligible to be vaccinated.”

The vaccinations will be offered at a range of locations, including GP offices, vaccination clinics, hospitals and health centers.
