This will improve the speed and the volume of vaccine we can make. Yes, in the future we will move from growing the vaccine virus in hen’s eggs and instead grow them in cell cultures.

Having received the vaccine, he is much better protected now. You should monitor his asthma as you would any cold-and-flu season but take symptoms and signs seriously.

He was treated w/ Tamiflu and recovered and has since rec'd the H1N1 vaccine. Can he still contract the H1N1 virus? If he does, will I still have to watch his asthma as closely? I have him do a peak-flow every morning and evening to stay on top of his asthma. My son has Asthma and had the flu, he wasn’t tested so we don’t know if it was H1N1.
