One more note about that flu-vaccine study...

March 10, 2010 | 11:19 am

Maybe you'll find this interesting.... Hepatitis A vaccine was used as a control vaccine in the recently published study assessing the herd immunity potential of vaccinating kids against influenza  -- not just because the Hepatitis A vaccine is safe but because Hutterite communities have had outbreaks of the disease.

So regardless of the flu vaccine's benefit, the control vaccine was beneficial as well.

Just seems like a nice touch...
