| ■ Seasonal Flu Vaccine to Protect Against Swine Flu | 2010.02.26 |
| The 2010-2011 seasonal flu vaccine will include protection against H1N1 swine flu, which means people won't have to get separate shots, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory panel said Monday. In a unanimous vote, the committee agreed that the pandemic H1N1 flu should replace the H1N1 strain used in last year's vaccine, Bloomberg reported. Health experts meet each year to select the three most commonly circulating flu strains to be included in the seasonal flu vaccine. |
