Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Clinics
H1N1 Influenza Vaccination Clinics
The 2009 H1N1 Vaccine is SAFE!!!
-
There have been no safety shortcuts. The 2009 H1N1
influenza vaccine is produced in the same way that
the seasonal vaccine is.
-
Clinical trials have shown that the new H1N1 vaccine
is both safe and effective. The FDA has licensed it.
- The
National Institutes of Health and the vaccine
manufacturers have conducted more rigorous tests on
the H1N1 vaccine than they do on other flu vaccines,
and there have been no red flags from these clinical
trials.
- It
is produced the same way the seasonal flu vaccine is
produced every year and thus is expected to have the
same very good safety track record. Millions
of Americans get the seasonal flu vaccine each year
without any problems.
- Had
H1N1 struck this country earlier than this spring,
the H1N1 strain probably would have been included as
part of this year’s seasonal flu shot.
-
Side effects from the H1N1 flu vaccine are no
different from those of the regular seasonal flu
vaccine.
