Who should get the H1N1 Vaccine?
Certain groups at higher risk for complications from this flu are recommended to get the 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine when it first becomes available. These groups include:

• pregnant women
• people who live with and care for children younger than 6 months of age
• healthcare and emergency medical services personnel
• people between the ages of 6 months and 24 years (this includes most students attending institutions of higher education)
• people ages 25–64 years of age who have chronic health conditions (such as asthma, heart disease, or diabetes) or compromised immune systems

Influenza, the flu, often strikes college campuses during critical times such as midterm or final exams. In addition to students missing important classes, sometimes the flu leads to other illnesses such as pneumonia, bronchitis, or ear infections. And, you could bring Influenza home to the older members of your family on winter break! The vaccine is highly effective in preventing the flu and preventing an outbreak. Influenza vaccine is also available in an intranasal form instead of injection. This form of the vaccine must be reserved by calling Intravene.In addition to seasonal influenza protection, this year a special H1N1 vaccine will be available to protect against pandemic H1N1 influenza, commonly referred to as the “swine flu”.
