    ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Starting Tuesday, all Alaskans are eligible to receive the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

    Previously the vaccine had been limited to five priority groups. Health officials say by now everyone in the priority groups who has wanted a vaccine has had the chance to get one.

    Alaska currently has more than 130,000 doses of the vaccine and is projected to have more than 214,000 by mid-December.

    Vaccine will continue to be distributed to state public health centers; and to doctors, hospitals and pharmacies.
