Flu shot effective against drifted influenza, nasal spray vaccine less so

their families had been protected against flu. The study's authors conclude that vaccinating children had some protective effect on the children and their families, confirming a notion of "herd immunity" first tested by Arnold Monto in a 1970 influenza vaccine study.

Without having children in their study, Monto and Ohmit can't tell whether the two vaccines would have conferred different protection in 2004-05 in that age group. However, data from a study conducted in 2004-05 in children aged 6 to 59 months by MedImmune, suggested that FluMist offered significantly greater protection than the flu shot. A MedImmune study discussed in October at a Toronto conference also found that FluMist was more successful at initiating antibody response than the traditional shot in young children.

Monto and Ohmit will continue to follow study participants vaccinated in Fall 2005 , without vaccinating them this year, to see whether the shot or the spray offer long-term protection.
