An American government panel has recommended that pregnant women,
health-care workers, children and young adults up to the age of 24
should get priority for the swine flu vaccine released later this year.
But the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
conceded the policy may change

Doctor Ann Schuchat of the Center for Disease Control
said the pregnant women were particularly vulnerable.
It is vital for pregnant women
who have respiratory illness and fever to get early treatment.
We think antiviral medicines for them can be lifesaving,
and that's a very important message.
We also think it is important for them to get seasonal influenza vaccine,
and today the committee recommended that when vaccine is available,
and we have a decision to go forward
that the pregnant women really out of consider getting the H1N1 vaccine.
