<p>Here it is: the breakdown you&#8217;ve been looking for on the flu vaccines.<br />
Who should receive them?</p>
<p>First- the <strong>regular seasonal flu vaccine</strong>, available now.<br />
You should get the flu vaccine this year.<br />
The only people who should not are infants less than 6 months, people with an egg allergy, and people with a previous reaction to the flu vaccine.</p>
<p>Next- the <strong>H1N1 vaccine</strong>, available in the next few weeks.<br />
The following groups of people should get this vaccine:<br />
Pregnant women<br />
Children age 6 months to 18 years<br />
Caregivers for children this age<br />
Young adults 18-24<br />
Health care workers<br />
People age 25-64 with a chronic medical condition<br />
(Examples include diabetes, asthma, COPD, and autoimmune conditions)</p>
<p>People age 65 and older are at lower risk for H1N1, so they are not recommended for the vaccine until the higher priority groups are inoculated.  Sometime in December or January, people age 65 and older may be recommended to receive the H1N1 vaccine.</p>
<p>The H1N1 vaccine will be available as a nasal spray and as a shot.  Pregnant women cannot receive the nasal spray because it contains a live virus.  It is safe for everyone else except those with a compromised immune system (as in HIV).  Children under 10 will require 2 doses about 4 weeks apart.  Everyone else will need only one dose.</p>
