Children and babies with health problems which put them at risk of
dying from swine flu are to be offered a vaccine jab within weeks.
But there are claims that the programme is being rushed through without
sufficient testing.
More than 13million people - most with underlying health problems
such as heart trouble, chronic lung disease, asthma and diabetes -
will be eligible for jabs, starting in October.
Mothers-to-be will also be included, along with more than two million
front-line health workers.
The vaccines are undergoing a fast-track testing process, with trials
in England and Europe.
However, safety trials will not involve any children under three, despite babies and toddlers with underlying health problems being first in the queue for jabs.
