The influenza\nvaccination is not recommended for children under 6 months, who unfortunately\nregister the largest number of deaths due to the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A study was carried out to see whether the babies of vaccinated mothers stood a better chance against influenza infection and that if this could curb the high mortality of infants contracting influenza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Babies born from vaccinated mothers were observed to check for any cases of laboratory-confirmed influenza infection in babies who were less than six months old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rates of rapid antigen testing for influenza, rates of febrile respiration infections, and rates of clinic visits for respiratory illness were other observed secondary effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was found that fewer babies contracted influenza when mothers had been vaccinated for the disease as opposed to those whose mothers had not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rates of fever or respiratory diseases were also lower in babies with vaccinated mothers, the mothers also showed to have fewer problems to this effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Out of three hundred and sixteen mothers who had received the influenza vaccinations, only 22 of the babies contracted laboratory-confirmed influenza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This study concluded that it is indeed highly recommended for mothers carrying babies to be vaccinated against influenza, in order to curb any possible subsequent infection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
