According to the CDC and the Alabama Department of Public Health, pregnant women, persons with weakened immune systems, and those with chronic disease such as cancer, obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma or diabetes should NOT get the nasal spray vaccine. These individuals may be candidates for the injectable vaccine when it becomes available. Please review the CDC’s vaccine information statement for more information on the benefits, risks and contraindications of the nasal spray H1N1 flu vaccine.
