FLORIDA - More than 100 inmates at prisons around the state have contracted swine flu since the first Florida case was confirmed in May.A Department of Corrections spokeswoman says keeping sick inmates away from the general population will help stop outbreaks."We treat and segregate those who are sick. Those who may have been exposed we put movement restrictions in place so they're not going to other facilities so they could possible spread it elsewhere."The swine flu is generally brought into the prison by guards, visitors and new inmates.DOC officials say they'll wait for word from the Centers for Disease Control on whether to vaccinate inmates.
The nation reacts as the swine flu spreads throughout the United States. Keep up to date on the latest information and what you need to do to keep your family safe.
