Safety of the Flu Vaccines

10/7/09

To answer a simple recurring question:  we ARE recommending that ALL patients get flu vaccines, per CDC guidelines.   We have noted little or no significant side effects in our patients from the flu vaccine, and parents have agreed that getting immunized has been uneventful.  Further detailed information on the Flu vaccines can be found in the links below, and in past announcements on this website.
