Benefits and risks of flu vaccination for adults, pregnant women and children over the age of 2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several: B: You might actually avoid the flu, might not develop flu complications and die. In the US we lost more than 50 kids this season. In the 2009 epidemic we lost 2 pregnant ladies in my town alone (they are more at risk). R: The strain you are exposed to may not be one the vaccine protects you from. It hurts. I have received one every year for more than 40 because it is the one thing we can do
