US health authorities are hoping to contain what they say is an intensifying swine flu pandemic with a massive H1N1 vaccination campaign.
The first distribution of 600,000 vaccine doses is set for tomorrow, two weeks ahead of schedule.
According to the most recent figures, 10,082 people have been hospitalised with swine flu in the US so far, with 936 deaths from the virus, including 36 children. In India, the toll is 344.
