[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't reject it. Just applied it in a way that made more sense for our particular family.

It's past my bedtime and searching for that recent flu shot research on my phone isn't fruitful - all I get is CDC PR materials. ;)

Until tomorrow...[/quote]

Not this - more recent that this, maybe a follow up study?

If I'm remembering correctly something about getting a much better immune response if you get it every other year?  I'll look more in the AM. [/quote]

The problem with new studies is that until they are replicated there can be no scientific concensus. This is an interesting theory but wouldn't seem to solve the problem of large swaths of vulnerable people every year. The flu shot is of course unique and evolving every year with the disease unlike every other vaccine you get though. I will be interested to see how this translates into recommendations for public health if the results are confirmed.
