H1N1 hitting youngsters hard - Davis

This year's H1N1 flu virus is hitting younger people harder than other age groups, and officials are urging everyone between ages 6 and 24 to be vaccinated. Vermont Health Commissioner Dr. Wendy Davis says the state expects to receive the vaccine by mid-October. Davis said people should also be vaccinated for the winter flu. That vaccine is available now and in enough supply for everyone who wants it to be vaccinated. She added basic health habits can help slow the spread of the disease: Wash hands frequently, cover the mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing, and stay home if sick.
