El Paso now has more support to help vaccinate the public against Swine Flu. In a 6-2 vote, the city council approved a $500-thousand contract with a company that provides temporary nursing staff. The money can now be used to hire up to 25 workers to staff the city's free immunization clinics. The city also approved $ 250-thousand if the workers are needed longer than eight weeks.
