A member asked:
My daughter got her first dose of the influenza vaccine 2 weeks ago and she needs the second will the first dose offer any kind of protection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Transient: It is common for kids under 6 to have 2 doses of flu vaccine the first year in an effort to generate a stronger antibody production. Some may have good response to the initial dose, but studies show many do not achieve expected levels of protection unless the 2nd dose is given.
