Due to the novel nature of the 2009 H1N1 strain and its slower than expected growth in culture, the supply of H1N1 vaccine is less than originally anticipated. As a result, practitioners are facing some difficult situations with regard to both H1N1 and seasonal influenza vaccine supply.

The AAP addresses the topic of supply and distribution of the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine, as well as intervals, dosing, and administration with other vaccines.
