Wisconsin health officials have expanded the group that can receive vaccination for swine flu to include all school-aged children and young adults up to age 24.

Previously, only children under age 4 or those with underlying health conditions were recommended to get vaccinated.

The state Department of Health Services said Monday that it was expanding the vaccination group based on the supply of vaccine that's available and feedback it's received from providers.

Even though the state's been assigned to received more than 1 million doses of vaccine, the state health department says it's not enough to open vaccinations to everyone.
