The NHS is preparing to vaccinate the entire population against swine flu.

It comes after an Essex man was confirmed on Friday as the first person without underlying health problems to have died from the virus.

A new vaccine could be ready in just five days and ministers predict that as many as 20 million people could be inoculated before the end of the year.

Ministers have secured up to 90 million doses of the vaccine, which is expected to arrive in Britain in the next few weeks, and the rest of the population is likely to be offered vaccinations next year.

The UK government has ordered enough vaccine to cover the entire population. GPs are being told to prepare for a nationwide vaccination campaign.

Peter Holden, the British Medical Association’s lead negotiator on swine flu, said GPs’ surgeries were ready for one of the biggest vaccination campaigns in almost 50 years.

Sir Liam Donaldson said Britain had a massive stockpile of Tamiflu and would be one of the first countries to have access to a vaccine, with the first supplies arriving at the end of August.

Andy Burnham, the Health Secretary, has said Britain could see more than 100,000 cases of swine flu per day by the end of August.

The Government has signed contracts to secure enough vaccine for the whole population, he told MPs.

The first will become available next month, with enough for 30 million people to be vaccinated by the end of the year.

100,000 + growing a day catching it by the time the vaccine arrives
