CDC: EMS workers a priority for H1N1 vaccine
ATLANTA — Health care workers, emergency medical personnel, pregnant women and healthy people between 6 months and 24 years old are among the target groups to receive the vaccine against the H1N1 virus when it first becomes available.
That’s one of several recommendations approved Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
The recommendations are based upon completion of clinical trials and when a safe vaccine is available. Five companies are making the vaccine, which officials hope will be available in October.
