  Why are pregnant women prioritized for vaccination?
  Data from early 2009 H1N1 influenza cases in the US show that pregnant women account for a disproportionate number of deaths, making them a high priority for the vaccination. People who live with or provide care for infants younger than six months, parents, siblings and day care providers and children and young adults aged six months through 24 years of age.
