Soldiers and their families can expect to get two flu shots this year. In addition to the conventional flu shot administered each fall, the H1N1 or "Swine Flu" vaccine should be available by mid-October. The H1N1 vaccine will be distributed to Soldiers, families and other beneficiaries mostly through primary care providers. The CDC established target groups for those at greatest risk for transmitting or contracting H1N1. They include pregnant women, health-care workers, those younger than 25 or older than 65, and those with pre-existing health conditions. For more information, visit the U.S. Army Medicine's H1N1 Flu Update website and the flu.gov website.
