Can the seasonal vaccine and the novel H1N1 vaccine be given at the same time? |
|
Clinical trial results will be necessary to confirm that novel H1N1 and seasonal vaccine will be safe and effective if given at the same time. We expect the seasonal vaccine to be available earlier than the H1N1 vaccine. The usual seasonal influenza viruses are still expected to cause illness this fall and winter. Individuals are encouraged to get their seasonal flu vaccine as soon as it is available. Source: CDC H1N1 Flu | H1N1 Flu and You |

Will the seasonal flu vaccine also protect against the novel H1N1 flu? |
|
The seasonal flu vaccine is not expected to protect against the novel H1N1 flu. Source: CDC H1N1 Flu | H1N1 Flu and You |
|
When is it expected that the novel H1N1 vaccine will be available? |
|
The novel H1N1 vaccine is expected to be available in the fall. More specific dates cannot be provided at this time as vaccine availability depends on several factors including manufacturing time and time needed to conduct clinical trials Source: CDC H1N1 Flu | H1N1 Flu and You |

What are the plans for developing novel H1N1 vaccine? |
|
Vaccines are the most powerful public health tool for control of influenza, and the U.S. government is working closely with manufacturers to take steps in the process to manufacture a novel H1N1 vaccine. Working together with scientists in the public and private sector, CDC has isolated the new H1N1 virus and modified the virus so that it can be used to make hundreds of millions of doses of vaccine. Vaccine manufacturers are now using these materials to begin vaccine production. Making vaccine is a multi-step process which takes several months to complete. Candidate vaccines will be tested in clinical trials over the few months. Source: CDC H1N1 Flu | H1N1 Flu and You |
