What You Need to Know about 2009 H1N1 Influenza (2)
Hi Guys,
This early in the morning I have finished writing my novel. It surprised me when I peeped the time on my notebook screen, it was at 2.22 AM (good luck numbers for me, huh...?!). My eyes were very tired but I was very happy as I have completed my progress for this month. Next month I'll prepare to send all materials to the production team. They have waited for me little bit longer as I have been late two months from the original schedule I made before. I'm very excited.
As I mentioned yesterday that I would post the series of the information about 2009 H1N1 Influenza, I will continue to write them below. For everybody who has subscribed to this Blog, I would like to thank for attention and interest you have given. As you know this blog was created to spread the words with a simple hope, every message can give a great blessing to every reader. THANK YOU.
WHAT IS 2009 H1N1 INFLUENZA VACCINE?
* Vaccines are being made to protect against 2009 H1N1 influenza (my husband got it two days ago from the hospital where he works and I have registered my little daughter to get this vaccine at her school)
These vaccines are produced just like seasonal flu vaccines. They are expected to be as effective as seasonal flu vaccines, will not prevent 'influenza-like' illnesses caused by other viruses. They also won't prevent seasonal flu, so you should also get seasonal influenza vaccine, if recommended.
Inactivated (killed) vaccine is injected into the muscle, like the annual flu shot. A live, intranasal vaccine is also available.
Some inactivated H1N1 vaccine contains a preservative called thimerosal. While some people have suggested that it may be related to developmental problems in children. That theory has not been supported by research. Thimerosal-free vaccine is also available.
WHO SHOULD GET 2009 H1N1 INFLUENZA VACCINE AND WHEN?
* WHO - Groups recommended to receive this vaccine first are:
Pregnant women, people who live with or care for infants younger than 6 months of age, health care and emergency personnel, anyone from 6 months through 24 years of age, anyone from 25 through 64 with certain chronic medical conditions or a weakened immune system
These groups should also be vaccinated: Healthy 25-64 year olds and adults 65 and older.
* WHEN - Get vaccinated as soon as the vaccine is available! Recommendations may change if we learn that other groups of people are at particularly high risk. Some people may need two doses of vaccine.
(will be continued)
