]]> 100763 1 42 Tip So far, the Centers for Disease Control’s data indicate the risk of infection among people age 65 or older is less than the risk for younger age groups.

]]> 100764 2 51 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/265929/51.jpg Be aware of prioritizing Be aware that if you are not in one of the at-risk groups, it is possible you will have to wait. If supplies are limited, at-risk groups will be vaccinated first.

]]> 100765 3 60 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/265929/60.jpg Don't assume prior protection Don’t assume that you’re immune to the 2009 H1N1 virus if you were vaccinated against the 1976 swine flu. They are different viruses, and you still need to be immunized against the 2009 strain.

]]> 100766 4 73 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/265929/73.jpg Know where to get the vaccine Know where to get the vaccine. Each state has its own plan. Locations include vaccination clinics organized by local health departments, health care provider offices, schools, pharmacies, and even some workplaces.

]]> 100767 5 86 Tip For state-by-state information, go to the Center of Disease Control’s web site.

]]> 100768 6 91 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/265929/91.jpg Get both flu shots Get your regular seasonal flu shot. The flu vaccine that’s been developed specifically to prevent the H1N1 flu is not meant to replace your annual flu shot. You may get both on the same day, but the seasonal shot will likely be available before the H1N1 shot.

]]> 100770 7 105 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/265929/105.jpg Take the usual precautions Take the usual precautions against catching any kind of cold or flu virus: Wash your hands often and avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. If you come down with flu symptoms, ask your doctor if antiviral drugs may be right for you – and stay away from others until you’re well!

]]> 100771 8 122 Fact The H1N1 virus is made up of genes not only from pigs, but also from birds and humans.
