Ri Urges Swine Flu Vaccinations For Pregnant Women
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) Rhode Island public health authorities say the state now has enough swine flu vaccine to inoculate every pregnant woman in the state.
State Health Director David Gifford said Tuesday that 10,000 H1N1 shots have been distributed to obstetricians.
Women whose obstetricians run out of vaccine should call the state health department to arrange to get vaccine to their doctor.
Three vaccination clinics for pregnant women and women who have recently given birth are scheduled for Saturday in Providence, Woonsocket and Wakefield.
