The A(H1N1) flu vaccine might be available in the market by October this year. This is according to Dr. Eric Tayag, chief epidemiologist of the Department of Health (DOH).
While the vaccine is still being developed in Australia and the United Kingdom, the DOH is reminding the public to continue practicing the following health tips:
- to keep your three feet distance
- wash your hands regularly
- cover your mouth when coughing
- stay at home if not feeling well
He warned also the public that the high risk individuals – such as people with respiratory problems, of old age, and pregnant women – should be more extra careful so as to avoid infection. (PIA)
