Share of Cost, How health affects the flu shot
Wednesday, Oct. 19th 2016 6:48 AM
The flu shot seems to work better in adults and older children. People over the age of 65 tend to have weaker immune systems, and the shot may be less effective for them. Children under the age of 2 and people with long-term health conditions may also have a lower response to the shot and receive less protection.
Experts still say that the shot offers some protection and should be recommended for these groups, especially because they are most likely to suffer serious complications from the flu.
