Health officials are confirming that children under the age of 9 will require two doses of the H1N1 vaccine in order to be fully protected.
Following recent studies of the vaccine, the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is recommending that children receive 2 doses, approximately 4 weeks apart. The reason why is that children showed a less robust immune response to the first vaccine dose, thereby necessitating a second one.
Studies also show that pregnant women benefit from the vaccine and showed no serious side effects. So far, 28 pregnant women have died from the swine flu.
An approximate 30 million doses of the vaccine have been delivered to the U.S. and will be sent out to the states
