Children and the Vaccine for Novel H1N1 Swine Flu |
|
 A vaccine for the seasonal flu has been tested and was made available to the public in September. However, this vaccine only protects against the strain of seasonal flu that is expected to surface this fall, not the H1N1 strain.
In addition to the seasonal flu vaccine, the U.S. government started releasing H1N1 vaccine in October.
The availability of this vaccine will be limited, so the CDC has identified the following groups as key populations to receive the H1N1 vaccine:
- Young Children and Young Adults between 6 months and 24 years old
- Pregnant women
- People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months old
- Health care personnel
- People ages 25 to 64 years who have chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems
