As the H1N1 vaccine becomes available children and people working in the health care industry (nurses, doctors and so on) are the first to receive the vaccine and then others will be able to get the vaccine as more becomes available.

According to the FDA (federal drug administration):

People with severe or life-threatening allergies to chicken eggs, or to any other substance in the vaccine, should not be vaccinated.

In the ongoing clinical studies, the vaccines have been well tolerated. Potential side effects of the H1N1 vaccines are expected to be similar to those of seasonal flu vaccines.

For the injected vaccine, the most common side effect is soreness at the injection site. Other side effects may include mild fever, body aches, and fatigue for a few days after the inoculation. For the nasal spray vaccine, the most common side effects include runny nose or nasal congestion for all ages, sore throats in adults, and — in children 2 to 6 years old — fever.

As with any medical product, unexpected or rare serious adverse events may occur.

Remember that children will need two swine flue vaccinations to develop immunity. One ought to suffice for older people. As for people over sixty – I think even though we do have some immunity toward the H1N1 strain we may wish to get further immunized by getting vaccinated once there are large enough supplies to go around for all who want them.

Remember to protect yourself and others against flu and other contagious illness:

• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
• Stay home if you get sick.
