BILLINGS - State health officials say the largest shipment of swine flu vaccine ever has arrived in Montana.

The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services says it just received more than 37,000 doses of the vaccine. The doses have been distributed to county and tribal health departments to give to clinics, hospitals and private providers.

Health officials say the following groups are eligible; pregnant women, health care workers, people six months to 24-years-old, caregivers of babies under 6 months old and adults 25 to 64-years-old with chronic health conditions.

The next public vaccination clinic in Billings is tentatively planned for early December.
