Not at this time. 2009 H1N1 vaccine is currently in short supply and thimerosal-free vaccine, available in pre-filled syringes, is being prioritized for use in pregnant women and children ages 6 months-3 years. In the future, after priority groups have been vaccinated, additional preservative free vaccine can be made freely available for groups other than pregnant women and children.
