The United States should begin vaccinating its citizens this fall against the H1N1 influenza virus, says an expert panel that guides the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices proposed rationing the limited supplies of vaccine among high-priority groups representing roughly half the country's population. At the top of the list are people with underlying conditions that put them at risk for severe disease, pregnant women, those from 6 months to 24 years old, anyone who lives with infants under 6 months old, health-care workers, and emergency personnel. HHS hopes to have enough doses of the vaccine by October for everyone in these groups.
