From the CDC:

Flu Vaccine Now Recommended for Everyone

"An annual flu vaccine is the best way to prevent the flu and flu-related complications that could lead to hospitalization or death. This season, health experts across the country are recommending that everyone 6 months and older get a flu vaccine.

This “universal” flu vaccine recommendation was adopted by the CDC's Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP), an independent group of physicians and health advocates that sets recommendations for all adult and childhood immunizations in the United States.

Over the years, the number of people recommended for flu vaccination has grown as experts learned more about who was at highest risk for flu complications or who was bearing the greatest burden of illness and possibly playing a role in spreading flu in the community. Many experts have long argued that a universal vaccine recommendation would be the best way to protect the greatest numbers of people.

Moreover, the annual vaccine supply has grown recently, helping to ensure that enough vaccine is available for everyone who wishes to be vaccinated."

Influenza Update 12/18/09

Supply of vaccine continues to improve. From the Massachusetts Department of Public Health on 12/17/09:

To date, DPH has distributed over two million doses of the H1N1 vaccine -- enough to protect the vast majority of our highest risk residents against the H1N1 flu. Recently, we have received several large shipments of vaccine, and we expect to continue to receive additional large amounts in the near future. As a result, we will begin to offer the vaccine to all residents who wish to receive it, although our focus will remain on vaccinating members of the priority groups.

Currently, we are booking appointments for:

H1N1 injectable (no preservative-free injectable available)
H1N1 Flumist (nasal)

Seasonal Flumist (nasal)
Seasonal injectable preservative-free (only for infants and toddlers)
Seasonal injectable

We will continue to update this blog as the vaccine supply changes.
