WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has gotten a seasonal flu shot.

An administration official said Obama received the shot Tuesday afternoon. Other members of the Obama family had already been vaccinated.

No word on a swine flu shot for the president.

Obama previously has said he’d wait his turn before lining up to be vaccinated against the new H1N1 strain of flu. Children, young adults, pregnant women and health-care workers are urged to be among the first to get the H1N1 vaccine.
