http://www.yale.edu/dixwellyale/getinvolved.html

* SUSAN'S KIDS AND FAMILY TIP OF THE WEEK
Flu season is here! The virus is highly contagious and is spread by
coughing or sneezing. Pregnant women and children between 6 months
and five years are among the high risk groups and should be
vaccinated. Moreover, the elderly are more likely to become infected
from children; therefore, immunizing your child can prevent deaths in
the elderly. All people, no matter how healthy are at some risk for
severe influenza infections. If your child is afraid of needles, the
FluMist vaccine is recommended for children over age 5 and does not
require a shot.
