Yes, pregnant health care workers may administer the live, attenuated intranasal H1N1 vaccine. No special precautions (like gloves and masks) are needed. Hands should be washed or cleaned with waterless hand sanitizer before and after giving the vaccine or having any direct contact with patients in a health care setting.
