H1N1 vaccine
The H1N1 vaccine is designed to protect against the H1N1 influenza virus, a strain of the flu that caused a global pandemic in 2009. It works by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight the virus if exposed in the future. The vaccine is usually given as an injection and is recommended for most people to reduce the risk of illness, complications, and spreading the virus. It’s safe, effective, and typically administered annually or as recommended, especially during flu season, to help protect individuals and communities from influenza outbreaks.
