Australia will embark on what is potentially the biggest vaccination program in its history, offering free pandemic (swine flu) vaccine to every person in the country.

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.

Australia will be one of the first countries in the world to offer the vaccine

to the general population and all people aged over ten are immediately eligible to receive the free vaccination.
