With flu season underway, flu shots are particularly important for very young children. A new study finds that vaccinations do help prevent babies from getting sick.
This study at Turku University in Turku, Finland, published Tuesday in the Lancet Infectious Diseases says the 2007-08 vaccine was effective in preventing influenza in children as young as 9 months old. "Our findings suggest that influenza vaccine recommendations should be reassessed in most countries," the study says.
