7. What people should give priority to influenza A H1N1 influenza vaccine inoculation?

 Influenza A H1N1 influenza vaccine inoculation should first ensure the safeguarding national security and stability, proper functioning of society, public service system is to function, followed by both types of focus groups, in order to reduce mortality and morbidity rates, reducing influenza pandemic threat.

 China’s key inoculation groups identified the main epidemiological characteristics of an integrated current situation with reference to WHO and other pairs of Influenza A H1N1 influenza vaccine use recommendations, and China’s production of Influenza A H1N1 influenza vaccine supply capacity and other factors, demonstrated by experts determined. China will be based on the progress of the epidemic and vaccine supply capacity, timely adjustments when necessary, the scope of the focus groups.
