Flu Vaccines On Their Way Including H1N1 Vaccine

Officials at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have approved vaccines for the 2010-2011 influenza season. This year’s flu vaccine will protect against three strains of flu, including the H1N1 Swine Flu.

“The best way to protect yourself and your family against influenza is to get vaccinated every year,” said Dr. Karen Midthun, acting director of FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, in a statement. “The availability of a new seasonal influenza vaccine each year is an important tool in the prevention of influenza related illnesses and death.”

Also, remember the best non-medical treatment is prevention – wash your hands often and thoroughly!
