Flu Season: How Several Shots?

Some possibilities:

-One shot: Older adults currently arent on the priority list to get swine flu vaccine but they should get the seasonal vaccine, which is available.

-Two shots: Theres a potential for the regular vaccine in one arm and the swine flu vaccine in the other, if that one requires just one dose.

-Three shots: The swine flu vaccine might require two doses three weeks apart, plus the regular vaccine.

-Four shots: Theres even this possibility for some children. Youngsters under 9 who are getting their first-ever regular flu vaccination need two doses of it.
