TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- Pima County health officials are hoping to get a shipment of swine flu vaccine Monday.

A spokeswoman for the county's health department says officials are expecting the shipment and as long as it arrives, they are planning to resume vaccinations at Tucson Electric Park stadium Tuesday.

It's not clear whether the shipment will be in injectable or nasal spray form, or both.

Those eligible for the nasal spray include children and young adults ages 2 to 24, caregivers of children younger than 6 months of age who are less than 50 years old and healthy health care and emergency medical personnel.

The county is limiting injectable vaccines to pregnant women, some people with chronic health conditions and health care workers.
