"Aventis is producing about 20 million more doses of the vaccine, and that will be rolling out of the production plant over the next several weeks; so we're working hard to allocate those doses to the areas and the people who need them the most." |

"We're mapping by county across the United States the expected number of high-risk people, the number of doses of the vaccine that have already been delivered, and trying to get a handle on the gap between where we have vaccine and where we have people who need it. That is one way that we're really doing our best to make sure we allocate the vaccine to those areas that need it the most." |

"We're encouraging people who are 65 years of age and older and also young children between the ages of 6 and 23 months to be first in line to receive the vaccine. But we also know that people with underlying medical conditions should be vaccinated because they too are at high risk for complications." |

"This year healthy people should step aside and not receive the flu shot. Even though the shot can help reduce their chance of getting flu, they're at low risk for complications and we really need to protect the supplies that we do have for the people at high risk." |

"One very important thing is people should use good respiratory etiquette and that really means cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze and cough and use good hand hygiene. Also, don't go to work if you're sick with a respiratory illness, and don't send your kids to school if they're sick. This really can help reduce spread in the community and everyone can benefit." |

"Right now we have another twenty-plus million doses of vaccine that we'll be distributing with the manufacturer over the next six to seven weeks. We'll be working closely with the state and local health departments to determine what the needs and so that we can provide this to the people who need it most." |

"The largest group is individuals over 65, but there are other folks as well who need to receive the flu shot. This includes children between the ages of 6 and 23 months; children who are on chronic aspirin therapy; individuals between the ages of 2 and 64 who have underlying diseases; folks who live in nursing homes or long-term care facilities; women who anticipate becoming pregnant this year or who are pregnant during the flu season; people who care for children who are less than 6 months of age; and individuals who work in health care who have direct contact with patients." |

"There are many things that you can do to protect yourself and protect others, and many of these are the kinds of things that our mothers told us when we were growing up. For example, if you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth. Wash your hands. Try to avoid touching your eyes, your nose, or your mouth with your fingers because you could infect yourself with a virus that you might've picked up. This year there's other things that you can do as well that can help protect other people. For example, if you're ill, don't go to work. Or if you have a child who's ill, keep them home from school. So these are the kinds of things that we can do as individuals that can not only protect us and our loved ones but also others." |
