The Food and Drug Administration said Friday that it had approved vaccines for the next flu season, expected to start in the fall, and health officials are recommending vaccination for everyone 6 months old and older.

Last year’s notorious virus, the pandemic A(H1N1) swine flu, has now become just one of the usual suspects included in a killed or weakened form in the 2010-11 vaccine. People needed two flu shots last year because swine flu had its own separate vaccine; it emerged too late to be included in the seasonal vaccine.
