Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Efforts
Seasonal influenza season typically begins in Iowa in late November or early December, peaking in January or February and ending in March or April.
While H1N1 disease is widespread right now, seasonal influenza disease has not yet been seen in the state. More seasonal flu vaccine has been made this year than last year. Seasonal influenza vaccine supply continues to arrive in the state with additional vaccine expected in November and December (The H1N1 vaccine does not provide protection from seasonal flu, or vice versa). It is anticipated there will be enough seasonal influenza vaccine for anyone wishing to be vaccinated.
Weekly Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Update
A toll-free Influenza Hotline--800-447-1985--has been established to answer questions from the public about seasonal flu and 2009 H1N1 influenza.
