Seasonal Flu Vaccine Recommendations

We encourage our members to get vaccinated against the seasonal flu and ask that you advise your patients to receive a vaccination as soon as possible. This year, the seasonal flu vaccine has been combined with the H1N1 flu vaccine so only one vaccination is required for adults. Children, however, may need one or two flu shots, depending on their age and previous history of flu vaccination.

The recommendations for the 2010-2011 flu season from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices include flu vaccination for all people 6 months and older, especially pregnant women.

For more information about this year’s flu vaccine, visit the CDC’s flu website at www.cdc.gov/flu.
