Health officials say 25 cities and states, including Colorado, have ordered swine flu vaccine and the first doses should be administered Tuesday.

An estimated 6 to 7 million doses should be out next week, and they should include both shots and the nasal spray form of the vaccine. But the first 600,000 doses available Tuesday will all be nasal spray.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave the details Thursday at a press conference in Atlanta.
