Story at-a-glance
- A recent study on the effectiveness of the 2009-2010 season’s H1N1 vaccine provides solid evidence against the effectiveness of vaccinating people, who have underlying health conditions, against the flu because it was found to offer non-significant protection against influenza-related hospital admissions
- The fast-tracked pandemic 2009-2010 H1N1 swine flu vaccine used in Europe turned out to be particularly reactive, causing many cases of narcolepsy across Europe. Now, parents, whose children developed narcolepsy following their swine flu vaccination, report their children are beginning to fall behind at school
- According to new research published in JAMA, the more children are exposed to per fluorinated compounds (PFCs), the less likely they are to have a good immune response to vaccinations. The finding suggests that these chemicals can affect children’s immune system enough to make them more vulnerable to infectious diseases
