Should your child get a flu shot?
 Hot on the heels of a CDC study purporting to reconfirm the safety of flu vaccines for babies, four Israeli adults (ranging in age from 52-76) died unexpectedly after receiving vaccinations from the same pool. [read on] After a one-day moratorium on flu vaccinations, however, the Israeli Health Ministry lifted the ban, with the country's health minister receiving a flu shot at the end of a live TV news conference. The minister's own experts dismissed concerns that the vaccines had anything to do with the deaths.
The vaccines used were produced by Sanofi-Aventis, which has recently been cited for contamination problems at one of its American manufacturing plants.
So is it safe for you and your children to get a flu shot? As with anything, there are pros and cons. Read what Dr. Joseph Mercola has to say on this topic before you make your final decision.
