H1N1 What? Mass. Gets its Swine Shots

The Commonwealth got its first shipment of H1N1 vaccine yesterday, according to this blog post. That's ahead of schedule, according to the state. Don't run out all at once to get your shots, though:

We will also continue to work closely with the CDC to keep track of when we can expect to receive more vaccine, and what types of formulations will be in each order. We are prioritizing vaccinating health care workers, pregnant women, children and young adults up to the age of 24, and adult 24-64 with underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk of complications from the flu.
