This post is presenting flu Shots and this is affected in your health and personality and “This may not be a reflection of the vaccine but that these patients are the sickest, and their doctors insist they get a vaccination,” said study author Dr. Avni Y.

“I would be very cautious about interpreting this,” said Dr. Gurjit Khurana Hershey and “The bottom line is that kids with asthma who get the flu vaccine are probably a different population anyway. They may be the more severely ill children, so it may have very little to do with the vaccine.”

“We know that the efficacy of the vaccine can be limited in younger children,” he said. “The current recommendations are to immunize all children 6 months through 18 years. Household contacts and out-of-home caregivers of all healthy children under 5 years of age, and children with a chronic medical condition that puts them at increased risk of complications from the flu should also get the vaccine every year.”

“Previous research has shown that the TIV does not provoke asthma attacks, but we’ve yet to see how effective it is in reducing hospitalization rates associated with the seasonal flu,” Joshi said.

“Vaccination should be universal, but we may need to find more effective vaccines,” Joshi added. “This is a good vaccine. We could have better.” Via
