Healthy infants could benefit from the influenza (flu) vaccine during the 2002-2003 season, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In the past, only young children at high risk for flu complications, such as those with chronic lung disorders, were recommended to get the vaccine.
However, recent studies have revealed that children under 2 years of age are at risk for hospitalization from flu-related complications. The rate of disease and the amount of hospitalization for infants is really comparable to that of older people for whom the vaccine is recommended.
What's more, inoculating more people against the flu, a leading cause of pneumonia and death in the elderly, would reduce the rate of transmission in the entire population.

It is hard to believe that the U.S. experts are getting away with more and more of this craziness.
They now have the audacity to recommend that the worthless flu vaccine be administered to already over immunized children under two.
Did you know that these flu vaccines they now want to give to kids contain mercury?
Doesn't make any sense when they just finished a two year process to start to get the mercury out of the hepatitis B vaccines. Now they want to reintroduce it with flu vaccines.
This is not yet official as it has only made it through the advisory stages, but it will soon be the recommendation of the land.
Oh, did you remember who was on the advisory committees?
If you did not have a chance to read my recent article on this, you will find that over 90% of those on the advisory committees are tied right back to the drug companies that are benefiting from the recommendation.
Hard to believe, but true. This was published in JAMA, the most widely circulated medical journal in the world.
The "experts" will use fear to motivate people to get a flu shot. Let's be clear, flu can definitely be a killer disease and it is not something that should be easily dismissed.
Remember flu shots don't prevent illness, never have, never will.
The flu shot actually weakens the immune system and makes you more predisposed to the illness.
It is my recommendation to avoid the flu shot just like you would avoid anthrax, and concentrate on eliminating the destroyer of health from your diet, which is sugar, by following the eating plan.
