Swine Flu Vaccination

The CDC recommends that pregnant women get vaccinated against the Swine Flu (H1N1) as soon as it is available in mid-October.

An article titled "H1N1 flu shots: Pregnant women, health care workers and children first" says:

The first priority group of recipients would be pregnant women, people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months, health care and emergency personnel, people 6 months to 24 years old, and people age 25 to 64 who are at high risk due to chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems.

So get your calendar out and write down a reminder to get your pregnant daughter the vaccination in October.
