I posted a link on the "useful links" page last week with a help page regarding Swine Flu.
I came across this article posted today on the Think Spain website that may also be useful for anyone it may apply to:
Heart patients, cancer sufferers, anaemics, asthmatics and diabetics should seek swine ‘flu jab
By: thinkSPAIN , Tuesday, September 1, 2009
PEOPLE with chronic heart conditions, diabetes and cancer should be vaccinated against swine ‘flu, stresses Spain’s minister of health, Trinidad Jiménez.
Also, anyone with respiratory problems and serious obesity should receive the jab, as well as children, teachers and anyone whose work involves a vital public service, such as doctors or ambulance staff.
Jiménez (pictured) cites those who should ask their doctor about the AH1N1 jab as anyone with cystic fibrosis, asthma, bronchial dysplasia, Type I and II diabetes, kidney failure, anaemia, hepatitis or other liver conditions, serious neuro-musclar conditions, those with no spleen, and anyone with reduced immunity, such as HIV patients or people on drugs following transplants.
Under-18s receiving Acetic Acid treatment, anyone with a body mass index (BMI) exceeding 40, cancer patients – particularly those in chemotherapy – and any kind of ongoing heart condition should also seek out a vaccination.
