Mitchell D – Encouraging news about adult clinical trials involving the novel influenza A (H1N1) vaccine could boost uptake levels, but by how much remains to be seen. Uptake for the new vaccine possibly will be similar to that of seasonal flu vaccine. In other words, relatively low. Seasonal influenza vaccine is recommended for more than 80 percent of the U.S. population, but less than 40 percent of Americans receive the vaccine each year. Preliminary data from the clinical trials indicate that health care workers who are immunized with the new H1N1 vaccine will be taking a big step toward protecting themselves, their patients and their co–workers. The newly licensed H1N1 vaccines induce a robust immune response in most healthy adults just eight to 10 days after a single dose of unadjuvanted vaccine containing 15 micrograms of antigen.
