Important Information About the Vaccination Clinics

Increasing amounts of vaccine are being delivered to Vermont. However, the supply is expected to remain limited in the short term because of the national delays in vaccine production.

This means that for several more weeks, clinics and providers may not be able to vaccinate everyone.

Vaccination efforts are focusing on certain priority groups.

Pregnant women
Household contacts & caregivers for children younger than 6 months of age
Healthcare & emergency medical services personnel
All people from 6 months through 24 years of age
Persons aged 25 through 64 years who have health conditions associated with higher risk of medical complications from flu

Health conditions include:

Cancer
Blood disorders (including sickle cell disease)
Chronic lung disease [including asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)]
Diabetes
Heart disease
Kidney disorders
Liver disorders
Neurological disorders (including nervous system, brain, or spinal cord)
Neuromuscular disorders
Weakened immune systems (including people with AIDS)

Clinics generally will have both the flu shot & nasal spray vaccines, though some may have only nasal spray because of limited vaccine supply.

The 2009 H1N1 nasal spray vaccine is recommended for use in healthy people ages 2 years through 49 years of age, who are not pregnant. Because this vaccine includes a weakened live virus, contact your health care provider if you are unsure whether this vaccine is appropriate for you.

Vaccine Supply Update

Due to production delays in the vaccine manufacturing process, only a limited amount of vaccine – far less than we had hoped and planned for – is available.

Every week more vaccine is shipped to provider offices that were interested in receiving it. We expect public clinics run by the home health agencies to begin in early November all around the state. Check back regularly for clinic updates.

Protect yourself & your family by getting vaccinated as soon as you can against seasonal flu and 2009 H1N1 flu. Take the everyday actions that can help slow the spread of illness.

cover your cough every time you cough or sneeze
wash your hands often and well
stay home from work or school and away from others as much as possible when you’re sick -- for at least 24 hours after your fever has gone.

Vaccine Safety

The benefits of immunization outweigh the risks. All vaccines, including the H1N1 vaccine, are held to the highest standard of safety and are continually monitored.

Each year, millions of Americans safely receive seasonal flu vaccines. The H1N1 vaccine is made the same way as seasonal flu vaccine by the same companies that make seasonal flu vaccine. The NIH has conducted clinical trials for the H1N1 vaccine. The vaccine has been tested and safely used in children, pregnant woman, and adults.

The H1N1 vaccine can prevent serious illness or even death, particularly for those who seem most vulnerable to the H1N1 flu. Not getting vaccinated could result in disease or putting others, such as babies or people with cancer, at serious risk for illness. If you care for a young baby it’s important that you get vaccinated so you can protect them.
