People aged over 65 will not receive the vaccine H1N1 swine influenza when it arrives in October. The reason behind this is apparently the sensitivity higher for children and young adults aged 5-24 the limited number of vaccines available.

Of the 120 million doses ordered, only about 45 million will actually arrive during the flu season. As a result, there will be a rationing of vaccine determined by the authorities Local health. The CDC recommends that plans are delivered in the following priority areas:

• Pregnant women may have the flu serious adverse effects on the unborn child.
• caregivers for children less than 6 months. Children this age can not tolerate the vaccine and thus contribute to limit their exposure, their caregivers should be vaccinated.
• HCWs. Obvious.
• Children and young adults aged 6 months to 24. This seems to be the target group of H1N1.
• Persons age 24 to 64 with health problems underlying conditions such as asthma, kidney disease and heart problems.

Who leaves a very large part of the population unprotected. However, if the flu is especially striking in those 6 months to 24 years, what is the problem?

The big problem is that people over 65 who assume disease are 35 times more likely to die of what 6 months to 24 years old group.

This means that the elderly have been particularly vigilant in the practice of preventing the flu this season. The vaccine against seasonal influenza will not protect against H1N1, but the elderly must absolutely get them. If they have a shot of the season and is down with flu like symptoms, they should immediately contact their doctor because it is likely they have contracted swine flu.

If you are an elderly person or you care for an elderly person, you need a plan on how to do it through the season to minimize your exposure. Better to plan now that after the flu was in full swing.

Did you know a family of four has an 80 percent chance of having at least one member become infected with H1N1? Do you know the best prevention methods? Do you know how to treat swine flu and when to call the doctor?
