The groups recommended to receive the novel H1N1 influenza vaccine include:
* Pregnant women
* Household contacts and caregivers for children younger than 6 months of age
* Healthcare and emergency medical services personnel
* All people from 6 months through 24 years of age
*** Children from 6 months through 18 years of age
*** Young adults 19 through 24 years of age
* Persons aged 25 through 64 years who have health conditions associated with higher risk of medical complications from influenza.
Once the demand for vaccine for the prioritized groups has been met at the local level, programs and providers should also begin vaccinating everyone from the ages of 25 through 64 years. Current studies indicate that the risk for infection among persons age 65 or older is less than the risk for younger age groups. However, once vaccine demand among younger age groups has been met, programs and providers should offer vaccination to people 65 or older.

To me, it looks like rationing. What say you???
That's nothing new, LOL!
Can’t reveal my source, but a doctor friend told me not to get my son (11 months) vaccinated. He is not allowing his pregnant wife to get vaccinated either.
They can give my shot to someone else, I’ll ration it myself....
