ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey's Health Ministry says three children have died of swine flu, bringing the country's death toll to seven.
The Ministry says a 22-month-old baby as well as a 4-year-old and a 14-year-old — both suffering from chronic illnesses — are the latest victims of the virus.
Turkey on Monday began vaccinating vulnerable groups against swine flu, starting with health workers and Muslim pilgrims preparing to travel to Mecca for the annual hajj.
