The 2010 flu vaccine will be including protection against three strains of flu, including the H1N1 virus according to a recommendation from the WHO.

After meeting for four days the experts have decided that the drugmakers can use the massive stockpile of H1N1 vaccine that they still hold as part of the mix for this year’s seasonal flu.
There was a fairly substantial over supply of the vaccine as many countries cut back on orders as people were not getting the injection.

WHO is meeting again on February 23 to evaluate the current H1N1 conditions, but they still feel that the H1N1 virus will continue to be a threat all through the 2010-11 flu season. Still those with the greatest risk are those with any type of a chronic medical condition, women who are pregnant, and the elderly.
