  Vaccine Safety

  • Over the years, hundreds of millions of Americans have received seasonal flu vaccines. The 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine is expected to have the same safety record.
  • Vaccine-related side effects are rare:
    • Mild problems may include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given, fainting (mainly in adolescents), headache, muscle aches, fever and nausea.
    • If these conditions occur, it is usually within a few minutes to a few hours after the shot is given.
  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will closely monitor for any signs of adverse vaccine side effects, and will work with both state and local health officials to investigate any unusual events.

   

  Do I need two doses of H1N1 vaccine?

  • Children 9 and under need to get two doses of the H1N1 vaccine to be fully protected. The second dose should be administered no earlier than 28 days after the first dose. If the first dose was administered at a SLVHD clinic, please bring the vaccine card provided by the immunizations nurse to verify a second dose is required.
  • People ages 10 and older do not require a second dose of vaccine to be fully immunized.

   

  Can I get both the seasonal flu vaccine and the H1N1 vaccine at the same time?

  • If injectable shot - Yes. The H1N1 vaccine is not intended to replace the seasonal flu vaccine. They should be used in conjunction to protect people from the most common strains of flu.
  • If nasal spray vaccine - No. You must wait 28 days between nasal spray vaccinations (for both seasonal or H1N1).

  
  What can I do to protect myself?

  • Get vaccinated.
  • Practicing good health habits. These small steps make a big difference.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it and wash your hands.
  • Avoid close contact with sick people.
  • Are you prepared?
