Patients without access to a military treatment facility can get the influenza vaccine from a participating retail network pharmacy or their health care provider.

Pregnant women are at an increased risk for severe illness and complications if infected with the influenza virus. Despite the abundance of research conducted on the value and effects of vaccines, public health discourse is still laden with criticisms from anti-vaccination groups, especially within legal frameworks that propose mandating vaccines like the flu shot.

Early signs are that this coming year might be dominated by the H1N1 strain, for which the flu vaccine tends to have higher effectiveness rates.
