H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccines are controversial. Wondering about you child? The American Academy of Pediatrics  recommends vaccinating with both the seasonal and H1N1 vaccines. See what the Center for Disease Control recommends for seasonal flu and for H1N1 (swine) flu. How do you know if you have the flu and what should you do? CDC has guidelines for you. The American Medical Association also recommends both the seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccines for most folks - view their poster. There are exceptions - talk to your doctor. The Mayo Clinic addresses safety and effectiveness of the H1N1 vaccine and concludes that "Nonetheless, eventually everyone should receive the H1N1 flu vaccine." Specifically, for H1N1, the CDC advises following these guidelines:

People with 2009 H1N1 flu who are cared for at home should:

  • check with their health care provider about any special care they might need if they are pregnant or have a health condition such as diabetes, heart disease, asthma, or emphysema
  • check with their health care provider about whether they should take antiviral medications
  • keep away from others as much as possible. This is to keep from making others sick. Do not go to work or school while ill
  • stay home for at least 24 hours after fever is gone, except to seek medical care or for other necessities. (Fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.)
  • get plenty of rest
  • drink clear fluids (such as water, broth, sports drinks, electrolyte beverages for infants) to keep from being dehydrated
  • cover coughs and sneezes. Wash hands often with soap and water.  If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
  • wear a facemask – if available and tolerable – when sharing common spaces with other household members to help prevent spreading the virus to others. This is especially important if other household members are at high risk for complications from influenza.  For more information, see the Interim Recommendations for Facemask and Respirator Use
  • be watchful for emergency warning signs (see below) that might indicate you need to seek medical attention.
