Flu vaccine recommended for all kids, teens
March 9th, 2008 Posted by: Dr. Dobson
In an attempt to reduce influenza among children and adolescents — and the adults with whom they come in contact — the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, at a February meeting, endorsed influenza vaccination for all younger than 18.
Because of increasingly stable supplies and more science showing the vaccine’s benefit, ACIP has been slowly expanding the number of people recommended to receive it. This recent recommendation adds 30 million to the list.
