What targeted groups will be vaccinated with the initial shipment of the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine?
A. The identity of the target groups to receive the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine will depend on how much vaccine is shipped to the state. The more vaccine the state receives initially, the more vaccines can be given to targeted groups. Due to the limited amount of vaccine and the further restrictions on who can receive the nasal spray, the first shipment will be used for health care workers providing direct care to the most ill persons (e.g., emergency medical workers).
