No, you should not come into direct contact with anyone regardless of age until you know if you have contracted the virus from that exposure. Chances are that you will catch the pandemic flu if exposed since it is a very contagious type of flu.

Stay a minimum of 3 feet from others until you know, and if you do develop symptoms, then avoid being within 6 feet of others especially those who are not vaccinated. Follow all hand washing and other precautions to avoid spreading the flu.

You will usually show symptoms within 3 to 5 days if you did catch the H1N1/09 flu. If the children are under 6 months old, they can not be vaccinated and have little immune system protection since their immune system is immature. Avoid even being in the same room with them and, if possible, stay in an entirely different location until you go 24 hours straight with no fever after symptoms have manifest. Children under 10 need a series of two vaccinations to be fully protected and those are given a month apart, so avoid exposure to anyone without full immunity even if they had a vaccination.
