Delaware officials say state agencies are mounting an all-out effort to minimize any new outbreak of swine flu.
Dr. Karyl Rattay, head of the state Division of Public Health, said Wednesday that sporadic cases of seasonal and swine flu are being reported in Delaware. She says seasonal flu vaccinations are already being administered.
Rattay says the first Delawareans to get a federally administered vaccine targeting swine flu would be those at highest risk for infection. The vaccine is expected to be available in October or November.
Education Secretary Lillian Lowery says her department will work with the Division of Public Health on a timeline to offer vaccinations to every student on a voluntary basis.
