Important Information About Who Should Be Vaccinated
Because of delays in vaccine production, only a limited amount of vaccine is available at clinics and provider offices. Vaccine supplies will increase over the next several weeks, and we expect that everyone who wants the vaccine will be able to obtain it.
At this time, clinics efforts are focusing on vaccinating people who are in 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
Protect Yourself, Your Family, and Community
- GET YOUR FLU SHOTS
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for 15-20 seconds, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective. If using gel, rub your hands until the gel is dry.
- People infected with seasonal and H1N1 flu may be able to infect others from 1 day before getting sick to 5 to 7 days after.
- Germs can be spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth. So avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person move through the air.
- Germs can be spread when a person touches respiratory droplets from another person on a surface like a desk, for example, and then touches their own eyes, mouth or nose before washing their hands.
- Studies have shown that influenza virus can survive on environmental surfaces and can infect a person for 2 to 8 hours after being deposited on the surface.
Pneumonia vaccines are available through your family doctor.
H1N1 (Swine Flu) vaccines will be coordinated in clinics
through the Vermont Department of Health.
