Nasal spray "not as effective " as flu shot. Depends what you mean by effective;

A large Canadian study has found that children vaccinated against influenza using a nasal spray appear to be equally protected from the flu as those vaccinated by needle.
The study was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine just one day after a U.S. committee recommended the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stop endorsing the spray.
Dr. Mark Loeb, lead author on the new study, told CTV News Channel that his study has a “better design” than recent U.S. studies that found the nasal spray vaccine not as effective.

“The bottom line is, (the CDC) should be looking at all of the data, all of the evidence, in particular our study very carefully,” he said.


Loeb said he does not expect the CDC to change its position in time for the 2016-17 flu season, but perhaps in the future.
The three-year study involved giving vaccines by one method or the other to 1,186 children living in relatively isolated Hutterite communities on the Prairies, and then testing them all for Influenza A and B. There was also a control group of kids.
The researchers found 5.2 per cent of those who got the nasal spray (intranasal live attenuated influenza vaccine) tested positive for the flu while 5.3 per cent of those who got the injection (inactivated influenza vaccine) tested positive.

Even the flu shot has variable efficacy with different groups (10-30% for the elderly).

Indeed.


Kids should be developing their immune systems and eating well instead. No wonder kids get the flu, considering how much processed sugar they're given these days.

But who cares...

The group notes that 85 children died from the flu in the United States during the recent season, based on CDC figures. Most had not been vaccinated.

The families left behind certainly should care.

Since I haven't posted an opinion regarding the CDC, I suggest guessing what people are thinking rarely works and you might consider the children that died having received no vaccination at all has nothing to do with the CDC saying the vaccination does not work. Or are you trying to drum something up to relate the two?

So . . . you are going with the CDC recommendation on the nasal version . . . this means you are endorsing the CDC and their recommendations?
Have a look at their recommendations on vaccines in general, and I'll see you at the vaccine clinics this fall getting your needle.
