Health Officials Urge Second Dose of H1N1 Vaccine

ATLANTA - Georgia health officials announced Wednesday that they are bracing themselves for more cases of the so-called Swine Flu virus – H1N1.

They said some people who should have gotten vaccinated didn't -- and, they're starting to see an increase in the number of cases.

Health officials made the announcement at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston Wednesday.

The department said children nine years of age or younger should receive the second dose of the vaccine.

Officials remind everyone that the best way to prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus is frequent washing of the hands.
