MORE than 17,600 people in Kildare and West-Wicklow have been given the swine flu vaccination since it was introduced on Monday, November 2.
Those vaccinated were in the at-risk group, including pregnant women, cancer patients and people aged under 65 with long term illnesses.
That's according to the HSE which says that, in the past week, it began writing to parents of children aged fr
om six months to under five years to let them know when it is time for them to bring their child to the HSE clinic for their vaccine.
Parents of children in this group will begin to receive letters this week and throughout November and into early December.
As part of the phased roll-out of the vaccine, people aged 65 and over will begin to be invited over the coming fortnight.
