Arthritis and H1N1
Created in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Arthritis Foundation recently released a new patient information sheet on arthritis and the flu. Located on arthritis.org, the new information sheet is aimed at people living with arthritis and provides answers to common flu-related questions. The sheet details who is at risk for H1N1(swine) flu due to either their type of arthritis or the medications they are taking, as well as who should consider getting the regular flu and H1N1 flu vaccinations.
