H1N1: More vaccine info
For all the kids who received separate seasonal and 2009 H1N1 (Swine flu) vaccines last year, there is good news from Kimberly Parnell, PhD, our favorite flu vaccine vigilant-scientist-mom (see the last H1N1 vaccine blog post). The World Health Organization, who meets on a yearly basis in February to decide on the strains for the upcoming fall’s “flu shot” has decided to roll the new/novel H1N1 into this year’s Northern Hemisphere vaccine.
Winter flu season … it’s only nine months away !
