The vaccination campaign starts everywhere

Two fatal cases of swine flu have been confirmed today, in Umbria and in Campania. The death toll is now 34. The Deputy Health Minister Ferruccio Fazio has asked newspapers "to not rise useless alarms", while insisting that people in the risk group should get the vaccines, which "are safe and are used around the world." There are large differences in the vaccine distribution to population in Italy. Some regions, for example Sardinia, will start tomorrow the first phase of the vaccination campaign, while other regions have already proceeded at step two. However the outbreak has already caused 700,000 flu cases.
