The H1N1 Flu Vaccine will be available in about two weeks. One shot or aerosol for those aged 10 and above; two shots for those 6 months to 10 years. It is recommended especially for healthcare workers, pregnant women, and those caring for infants under 6 months. Ultimately, everyone should consider getting this vaccine.
The vaccine is being offered for free by the Federal Government. Your provider may charge your insurance an administration fee. Your city will have locations to get the vaccine for free if you do not have a provider.
Go to www.Flu.gov for the most up-to-date information. There is “Locator” link on the website to help you find a place near you to get the shot.
Note that H1N1 Flu is different from the seasonal flu, which kills thousands of people each year. The vaccine for the flu shot is already available and is recommended in addition to the H1N1 Flu shot.
