A MESSAGE From the New York State Department of Health
WHO SHOULD GET
VACCINATED AGAINST H1N1 FLU?
H1N1
vaccination is now recommended for ALL New Yorkers over 6 months of age, not
just those in the initial priority groups. This includes senior citizens age 65
and older.
AM I ELIGIBLE
TO GET THE H1N1 FLU VACCINE?
Yes. New York State is now making the vaccine
available to ALL New Yorkers. During the first phase of New York’s statewide vaccination campaign,
when supplies of vaccine were limited, the State designated the H1N1 vaccine
for priority groups considered at highest risk of serious illness and
complications from the flu and those at risk of transmitting the flu to
vulnerable individuals. Now that there is an adequate supply of vaccine, the
State has expanded access to the vaccine to ALL New Yorkers.
NOW IS THE TIME
TO GET VACCINATED!
The H1N1 flu
season is far from over. H1N1 flu activity is still widespread in New York State. Typically, the most flu activity
occurs from January through March, and the flu season runs until May. Getting
vaccinated now will provide protection for you against H1N1 flu for the rest of
the season this winter and spring.
THE H1N1
VACCINE IS SAFE.
The H1N1
vaccine will NOT make you sick, but the flu WILL. Like the seasonal flu
vaccine, the H1N1 vaccine has a very good safety record. Most people who
receive the H1N1 flu don’t experience any symptoms afterwards; some feel a
temporary mild soreness in the arm. The nasal spray vaccine is also safe,
effective, and easy to use.
WHERE CAN I GET
THE VACCINE?
The vaccine is
available from many health care providers, community health centers, and now
pharmacies. Check www.flu.gov to see if
any vaccine clinics are scheduled at retail outlets near you.
