hrrrm. i can’t be the only one confused by recent flu shot headlines.

Flu shots safe, suggested for babies, toddlers:

“The biggest study ever to look at the side effects of flu shots in children confirmed that the vaccine is safe for babies and toddlers.

Researchers studied 45,000 U.S. children and found almost no side effects requiring medical treatment during the six weeks after the youngsters were vaccinated.”

Flu vaccines ‘not worth the trouble’:

“FLU vaccines may be far less effective at combating seasonal outbreaks than previously thought, researchers say, adding that they may not be worth the cost and effort required to produce them.”
