Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy children


Stick it to the flu:  A Cochrane review

Source we can trust?  Findings not robust?

"The review authors found that in children aged from two years, nasal spray vaccines made from weakened influenza viruses were better at preventing illness caused by the influenza virus than injected vaccines made from the killed virus. Neither type was particularly good at preventing 'flu-like illness' caused by other types of viruses."
