  • peope who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age
  • health care and emergency medical services personnel
  • persons between the ages of 6 months through 24 years of age
  • people from ages 25 through 64 years who are at higher risk for novel H1N1 because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems
