Pregnant women taking part in new H1N1 vaccination trials
An Article from USAToday.com: Pregnant women this week will offer up their arms for the start of the latest trial of a new swine flu vaccine, the government said Wednesday. Pregnant women are priority candidates for vaccination because they accounted for 6% of deaths early in the epidemic, though they account for just 1% of the population, according to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. During the first month of the epidemic, they were also hospitalized at a rate that was roughly four times higher than for other groups, CDC says.http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2009-09-10-pregnant-swine-flu-vaccine_N.htm
