How many flu shots this year?

This year's "flu" vaccine has three antigen groups in one vaccine:

H1N1
H3N2
Influenza B

Children 6 months to 8 years old who have received in the past:
1 dose of H1N1 + 2 doses of seasonal flu = 1 dose this year

       All other children 6 months to 8 yr should get 2 doses of the 2010-2011 flu vaccine.

All children 9 years and older get 1 dose.
