Seasonal and H1N1 Vaccinations

The seasonal flu vaccine is different from the H1N1 vaccine; it was designed to protect against the other influenza viruses, but not designed to specifically protect against H1N1 influenza.

You just cannot receive both live vaccines at the same time. Transcript [24.00KB]
