H1N1 is very harmful to the elderly and the young ones because their imune system is either not developed yet, the young ones, or either wearing away, the elderly. So their body cannot react as well.

How can you spread awareness about supporting elderly?

Teens are a good start by getting involved with the elderly. The elderly are wise in most cases; have fantastic stories to tell and the elderly will also realize that most teens are not to be feared (often the elderly worry about being mugged and it happens so many elderly people feel very vulnerable if they are around a group of teens). Teens can read to the elderly in nursing homes; take them for walks down the hall or out in the gardens during the spring and summer because there are many of the elderly where families may live a long distance away or their children just don't seem to bother to visit them. Older adults can start group programs for picking up and bringing back the elderly from doctor's appointments; shopping, etc. British Columbia Canada has 'Driving Miss Daisy' and other groups that do this. Programs can also be set up by adults to find good doctors; dentists or assisting the elderly on those appointments if they do not have children to do so. Writing articles in a magazine or even a small article in a local newspaper can be handy at educating people regarding the elderly. Some elderly people are actually young minded even if their bodies appear to say otherwise so this misconception of all elderly persons are incapable needs to be broken. Do your homework by contacting your Seniors Health Care.


Can anyone share some of the information about H1N1 vaccine?

The H1N1/09 vaccine can be given to children over the age of 6 months. It will usually take two doses of vaccine approximately a month apart for children 10 and under to build up their immunity. Adults and children over 10 usually only need one vaccination. There are formulas of the vaccine available in nasal spray and for injection, see related questions below about which is better for whom. In the US, the seasonal flu shot for the upcoming flu season (2010 -2011) will include the vaccine for the pandemic H1N1/09 virus, so there will not be a need for two vaccinations like there was last season. See more information about the vaccine in the related questions section below. You can also browse the H1N1 category where there many more answers about the vaccinations (many are also included in the category for vaccinations).

Would anyone tell me about the dangers of the flu vaccine and why is it safer not to get children vaccinated?

If you already have H1N1 virus in your body and is about to get sick anyway it can be, because you then get a double dose. That's how all vaccines works. There haven't been enough time top test the vaccine on ppl under the age of 18. But the risk of getting it is higher then if you don't get vaccinated. H1N1 spreads 4 times faster then a normal flu. So it's safer to have your children vaccinated.
