REMINDER! Kids Need a Second Dose
Parents are reminded that young children, age 9 and under, who received the H1N1 vaccine need a second dose. (You must wait at least 21 days after the first injection.) Parents should contact their medical provider or call the hotline for more information.

Flu Activity Continues—Prevention is Critical!
We still have more flu activity than in other years, and a new “wave” of flu is possible this season. Wash your hands, cover your coughs & sneezes, stay home when you’re sick and get vaccinated.

Flu Clinic Info
Sanofi-Pasteur (12/15/09, 0.25 ml pre-filled syringes for ages 6 months-35 months) and MedImmune (12/22/09, monovalent nasal spray) have issued limited non-safety related recalls of certain lots of their H1N1 vaccines due to decreased potency.
The Marin Health Department has determined that none of the affected lots were shipped to us. None were used by Public Health to vaccinate persons in our flu vaccine clinics held in November and December. We have also notified vaccine providers about the recall so that they may check their records and remaining supplies.

While the antigen content of the affected lots is now below the specification limit for the products, CDC and FDA are in agreement that the small decrease in antigen content is unlikely to result in a clinically significant reduction in immune response among persons who have received the vaccine. For this reason, there is no need to revaccinate persons who have received vaccine from these lots. People who received the vaccine do not need to take any action.
