Who should get the swine flu shot...

(I received this note from Aetna.)

What to do about swine flu

The H1N1 virus, also known as "swine flu", has quickly spread around the world. A new vaccine for this virus should be ready this fall. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that the following groups get the vaccine first:

  • pregnant women
  • parents and others who care for children younger than 6 months of age
  • health care workers
  • children and young adults 6 months through 24 years of age
