In the News--Flu Vaccine Lowers Children's Risk of ICU Flu admission by 3/4

A study reported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) found that when children received this year’s flu vaccine, the kids were less likely (74%) to end up in the intensive care unit. 

 “The CDC recommends annual flu vaccines for everyone 6 months and older and especially for children at high risk of serious flu-related complications.”  This information can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2014/p0327-flu-study.html
