Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 briefing note 2:
WHO recommendations on pandemic (H1N1) 2009: vaccineshttp://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/notes/h1n1_vaccine_20090713/en/index.html

All countries should immunize their health-care workers as a first priority to protect the essential health infrastructure. As vaccines available initially will not be sufficient, a step-wise approach to vaccinate particular groups may be considered. SAGE suggested the following groups for consideration, noting that countries need to determine their order of priority based on country-specific conditions: pregnant women; those aged above 6 months with one of several chronic medical conditions; healthy young adults of 15 to 49 years of age; healthy children; healthy adults of 50 to 64 years of age; and healthy adults of 65 years of age and above.
