Who should get the flu vaccination?

Answer 1

Persons at Increased Risk for Complications According to ACIP, vaccination is recommended for the following groups of persons who are at increased risk for complications from influenza:1 * persons aged ≥ 65 years; * residents of nursing homes and other chronic-care facilities that house persons of any age who have chronic medical conditions; * adults and children who have chronic disorders of the pulmonary or cardiovascular systems, including Asthma; * adults and children who have required regular medical follow-up or hospitalization during the preceding year because of chronic metabolic diseases (including Diabetes mellitus), renal dysfunction, hemoglobinopathies, or immunosuppression (including immunosuppression caused by medications or by human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]); * children and adolescents (aged 6 months-18 years) who are receiving long-term aspirin therapy and, therefore, might be at risk for developing Reye syndrome after influenza infection; * women who will be pregnant during the influenza season; and * children aged 6-23 months.

Answer 2

Everyone that is able and over six months of age should get a flu shot every season, which usually means to try to get your shot in October.

Children should get the flu vaccine since they are the biggest group of spreaders of viruses and also at high risk for flu complications. This is also true of adults over the age of 65.

People that are at higher risks of complications from the flu, such as diabetics, asthmatics, and those with immune issues should be especially sure to get the vaccination.

Babies under 6 months old can not safely be given vaccines since their immune systems are not yet ready for it. After 6 months until up to age 10, a series of two vaccinations is usually required to create the proper immune response.

Answer 3

The recommendations in the US are to get the first dose between 12 and 15 months old, and the second dose between ages 4 and 6 years. It can also be used to prevent infection if given within five days of exposure.

If a child or adult hasn't been vaccinated yet, s/he should get the first dose now, and the second dose at least three months apart if the patient is under 13, and at least four weeks apart for patients 13 and older.

If someone has had just one dose, they should get a second dose.

It is very rare for adults to get chicken pox even if they aren't vaccinated for it. But, a child 13 years and under are most likely to get chicken pox if they never had it before of if they never been vaccinated.
childeren 1 to 14 and adults too
Everybody is able to get the chicken pox. When you get them once, you won't get them again.
People are at risk for catching chicken pox if they have not been vaccinated against it, or if they haven't already had it in the past.
Young children, from age 1 to 10 are the most likely candidates, although adults can get chicken pocks too, only it is extremely dangerous fro adults to get it. Once you get the chicken pocks, you more than likely won't get them anymore, although that's not always correct, if you have a low immune system, then you may get it more than once.

Answer 6

Hello there!

As far as I know, all children must get the chickenpox/varicella vaccine. If they have a health issue, it is best to consult a professional doctor. It can also be given to high-risk individuals as well, but prior consultation is necessary in that case as well.

Hope this response was helpful to you! 😄
