2nd dose of H1N1 vaccine needed for kids through 9 years of age
Booster needed to increase protection
| (November 3, 2009) -- Children that have received one dose of the H1N1 vaccine should receive a second dose -- or "booster" -- at least 28 days after the first vaccination. This booster should be obtained as soon as possible after the 28-day waiting period. It can, however, be given as much as a couple months later if the vaccine isn’t readily available. |

|
| The Utah County Health Department (UCHD) will administer these booster vaccinations with the other H1N1 vaccinations in our clinic. At this time, a separate clinic will not be held, but parent's should get a reservation ticket for children when they are available. |
