Influenza vaccination has become a mainstay in American medicine largely as a measure to protect the elderly. However, in recent decades, the FluShot has been pushed on health care workers, and the general adult public, and starting in 2017 the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] ACIP [Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices] panel stated: “Routine annual influenza vaccination is recommended for all persons age 6 months and older who do not have a contraindication.”
I wondered if the FluShot even did was it was supposed to do originally in the elderly—protect against hospitalization and death. I was disappointed by real-world data.
