(AP) -- Swine flu vaccinations are expected to start in Georgia on Tuesday. 

Georgia is initially receiving about 55,000 doses of a nasal spray version of the vaccine.

State officials say healthy children ages 2 through 4 are being prioritized for the first doses. 

The state expects about 2,700 doctor's offices and other health-care providers will be offering the vaccine by the time full supplies arrive. But state officials did not release information Monday about which providers will be offering the vaccine this week.
