Jordan to offer universal H1N1 vaccine access

Jordan's ministry of health has said that starting next month, all Jordanians will be able to receive the H1N1 flu vaccine, currently restricted to people categorised by the ministry as high-risk, the Jordan Times has reported. The move came after the kingdom registered a "tremendous decline" in the spread of swine flu over the past few weeks, with no cases registered during the past 10 days, the ministry's primary healthcare director, Adel Bilbeisi told the newspaper.
