H1N1 (Swine) Flu Vaccine Recently Announced
Two weeks ago, the Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis announced that it had produced the first batch of a vaccine to fight the H1N1 (swine) flu virus. Vaccine production is underway, and clinical trials will begin in July. The expectation is that the vaccine will be available to the public in September.
Health Net will follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations on use of the vaccine when it is available.
We will keep work to keep our members updated as to any further developments. In the meantime, we urge you to take all appropriate steps to stay healthy.
