Don’t Forget the Second Dose of H1N1 Vaccine For Young Children
February 2, 2010Even though it seems like the worst of the H1N1 (swine) flu has passed, history tells us there may be a third wave of the disease. The young are at greatest risk of serious illness and parents should ensure they get vaccinated. This is especially true for children under the age of 10 who need two doses of the vaccine, separated by at least four weeks, for full immunization against H1N1 flu.
