Hopkinton Drug 2009 Flu Blog

Welcome To The HDI (Hopkinton Drug Inc.) Flu Blog !

Influenza (the "flu") can be a very serious disease. Even healthy adults can get sick. If you get the flu, you can spread it to family, friends, or co-workers.

The intent of this blog is to provide up to date information about Seasonal Flu and H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) from various sources, in easy to understand language. We will also include links for Flu information at Government agencies and Medical organizations. We hope the information provided here will help you to "Not Get the Flu..Not Spread the Flu, and to Get Vaccinated"

According to the CDC guidlines the Inactivated Injectable Seasonal and H1N1 vaccines can be administered simutaneously. The vaccines should be administered in different arms. I would recommend, however, that people get the Seasonal and H1N1 on different days, otherwise, if you have an allergic reaction, you won’t not know which vaccine you are reacting to.

The Live seasonal nasal mist and Live 2009 H1N1 nasal mist SHOULD NOT be administered at the same visit
