Seasonal and Novel H1N1 (Swine) Flu Information
More than 118 million doses of H1N1 vaccine have been distributed throughout the United States and are readily available for use at this time. There is also seasonal vaccine available for use, and both vaccines can generally be administered at the same time. Vaccination is the single best way to avoid becoming ill with the flu and to reduce its impact. The public is invited to call their health care provider to arrange an appointment for vaccination.
