We’re always on top of these things. The Swine Flu has been a little blown out of proportion by the media in my opinion, but whatever strain of flu exists, it’s good for professionals to think at a high level for infection control – from how we wash hands to always wearing gloves to covering surfaces to sterilizing handpieces and lasers. It’s a great time to review these procedures that prevent disease transmission. We don’t need to go crazy, but we need to prioritize infection control. I think staff vaccinations should be a personal decision for each individual, not mandated by the government. For me, I get the vaccine, but I haven’t yet gotten the H1N1 vaccine because it’s... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2943954 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:27:17 +0100 2943954 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2898886&cid=t_305768_86_f&fid=36669&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffadelibrary.wordpress.com%2F2009%2F10%2F16%2Fhealth-service-journal-2009-8th-october-2%2F Health service Journal 2009 (16th October) Fade Fade: Swine flu vaccination programme start date announced Fade Skinny: High risk patients and frontline health workers in hospitals will begin being vaccinated against swine flu on 21 October, chief medical officer Sir Liam Donaldson has announced.

There are three different companies that make H1N1 (swine flu) flu shots.  Of those only one, Sanofi Pasteur, has a shot FDA approved for kids less than 4 years old.  Sanofi Pasteur makes three different H1N1 flu shots, one of which is FDA approved for kids older than 3, the other two are approved for kids all the way down to 6 months. Of the 2 Sanofi Pasteur shots approved for kids older than 6 months: -one is 0.25 mL prefilled syringe (an individually packaged shot) which contains no mercury -one is 5.0 mL multidose vial (a b...

However, primary care trusts will have to prioritise different staff groups themselves.
