H1N1 Vaccine: What to do?
“THE MEDICAL LETTER” is a publication that has provided credible information to healthcare providers about medications for over 20 years. It is funded by subscriptions and does NOT accept no funding from any other source, including pharmaceutical companies.
The October, 2009 issue reviews the H1N1 vaccine for prevention of flu. The article concludes that the H1N1 vaccine “is prepared in the same way by the same manufacturers as the usual seasonal vaccine. Those who are at increased risk of flu complications should receive the vaccine first…[they include] pregnant women, people who live with and provide care for infants <6 months old, all persons 6 months – 24 years old, persons 25-64 years old with illnesses that increase their risk of flu complications, and healthcare workers.”
I believe that credible sources such as the “THE MEDICAL LETTER” provide reliable information to healthcare providers and consumers, helping us to make the best possible decisions about risks vs. benefits of medical treatments. For further detail, consult your healthcare provider.
