Executive Summary
The World Health Organization has recommended that only one dose of H1N1 vaccine – including approved live attenuated and adjuvanted and non-adjuvanted inactivated products – is needed to protect against the influenza pandemic in those aged 10 years or over. Teenagers and young adults continue to make up the bulk of H1N1 cases, with rates of hospitalisation highest in very young children.
