Prevention

Vaccine

There can be more than one flu virus circulating among LA County residents at any time. That’s why both the seasonal flu and H1N1 vaccines will be available later this fall. The best way to prevent getting the flu is by a getting a flu shot. However, one vaccine won’t prevent getting both flu types because they’re caused by different germs.

Since each virus is unique and puts different groups of people at risk, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend the following groups get the vaccines detailed below:

H1N1 Vaccine is recommended for...

  • Pregnant women,
  • People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age,
  • Health care and emergency services personnel,
  • Persons between the ages of 6 months through 24 years of age, and
  • People from ages 25 through 64 years who are at higher risk for pandemic H1N1 flu infection because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems.
  • Seasonal Flu Vaccine is recommended for...

    Anyone who wants to reduce their risk for seasonal flu.

    Vaccine distribution will be through doctors’ offices, some pharmacies and workplaces, other private organizations, and through some public organizations, such as the Department of Public Health. Stay tuned to this site for the latest vaccine information as it becomes
