All Greeks to be vaccinated against swine flu

ATHENS, Greece — Greece says it will inoculate its entire population against swine flu once the vaccine has been approved by international and European Union authorities.

Health Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos says the government decision taken Friday will include hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants resident in the country.

Greece has registered more than 700 cases of the flu, or H1N1, but no deaths. All the cases have been mild apart from four, which include a teenage British girl on vacation in the country.
