Child's Flu Shot Helps Whole Family

Date:9/7/2007

so varies from year to year. To account for that variation, the research team calculated results based on several potential rates of vaccine efficacy.

"If the match is better or the flu season is more severe, then more visits would be prevented," senior researcher Dr. Katherine Poehling, of Wake Forest University Medical Center, in Winston-Salem, N.C., said in a prepared statement. "This is a very conservative estimate. We only account for direct protection by the flu shot. We do not account for the indirect protection to other children and adults who are less likely to be exposed to the flu when persons around them are vaccinated. This tells us that flu shots are an effective means to prevent illness and doctor visits from the flu each winter."

Flu vaccines do not contain live viruses, so children are not at risk for getting the flu from the shot itself, the researchers said.

The study is published in the September issue of Pediatrics.
