post #7: Mass Swine-flu Vaccinations

Turkish authorities have decided to launch a massive immunization program against the H1N1 Type A, also commonly known as "swine-flu", on monday.

Only after 1,500 cases of the H1N1 virus have been reported, has the Turkish Ministry of Health made a move against it. The vaccination, imported from Swiss-based drug company Novartis, will be registered to Turkish pilgrims traveling to the hajj starting monday. The mass vaccination of schools will follow later, during the end months of November. We hope this will bring an end to the spreading of the virus.
