Efficacy of FluMist(R) in Children Highlighted at Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting

Efficacy of FluMist Among Previously Unvaccinated Children

In a study involving 3,200 previously unvaccinated children between the ages of six (1) and 36 months, the efficacy of one dose of FluMist was compared to the recommended two doses. The study showed that for children receiving one dose of Fl
