Flu shots are not just for grown-ups. Little ones are at high risk of complications from the flu. So the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has expanded its recommendations about which youngsters should get the annual flu shot. The CDC’s Dr. William Atkinson tells about it:
The CDC says these up-to-five-year-olds should get the shot, which has killed virus. There’s also a nasal vaccine made from live, weakened virus. The CDC says the nasal spray works for healthy people from five years to 49 years of age who are not pregnant. October and November is the best time to get vaccinated. You’re protected that way from the start of the flu season.
