An American government panel has recommended that pregnant women, |
| [00:07.33] |
health-care workers, children and young adults up to the age of 24 |
| [00:10.69] |
should get priority for the swine flu vaccine released later this year. |
| [00:15.27] |
But the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices |
| [00:18.12] |
conceded the policy may change |
| [00:19.74] |
|
| [00:22.39] |
Doctor Ann Schuchat of the Center for Disease Control |
| [00:25.90] |
said the pregnant women were particularly vulnerable. |
| [00:28.75] |
It is vital for pregnant women |
| [00:30.94] |
who have respiratory illness and fever to get early treatment. |
| [00:35.37] |
We think antiviral medicines for them can be lifesaving, |
| [00:38.36] |
and that's a very important message. |
| [00:40.10] |
We also think it is important for them to get seasonal influenza vaccine, |
| [00:43.77] |
and today the committee recommended that when vaccine is available, |
| [00:47.07] |
and we have a decision to go forward |
| [00:48.85] |
that the pregnant women really out of consider getting the H1N1 vaccine. |
