The overall Swine Flu Vaccination programme came to a close on March 31st 2010. From November to March, the vaccine was made available first to key target groups, and then to the whole population, through a combination of GPs, Hospitals and special HSE Vaccine Clinics.  

However, we continue to recommend that pregnant women are vaccinated against Swine Flu. This is because they were particularly affected by Swine Flu and in previous pandemics there have been second waves of the flu. It is very likely that swine flu will circulate again in the coming autumn/winter. Pregnant women who need to be vaccinated against Swine Flu can contact either their GP or their Maternity Unit.

Choose from the following options:

• Information for Pregnant Women - Questions and Answers and Information on Vaccine Safety
  
• Who has been offered vaccine - Details of the groups of people who have been vaccinated, specific questions and answers for adults, children, pregnant women, older people, healthcare workers and more
  
• It Stops with You - read an information leaflet that set out the whole vaccination programme and answered some common questions. Published Nov 2009.
