The vaccine advisory committee
of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is now "encouraging"
parents to have children 6 to 23 months old vaccinated for influenza next
fall, at the start of the 2002/2003 flu season.
The group is expected to make
a full recommendation sometime within the next three years that these
children receive the flu vaccine annually.
