"A CDC expert panel now urges all children ages six months to 18 be vaccinated against flu or influenza in the upcoming 2009-2010 flu season.
A panel of vaccine advisers made that unanimous vote today and the CDC generally follows the panel’s advice. The decision could affect up to 30 million children and marks the largest recommended guideline expansion in U.S. history. "

And then they will mandate us...yet:"Officials choose three flu virus strains to target in the vaccine in the upcoming flu season based on the previous year’s flu season. This year, two of the three virus strains included in the vaccine were not a good match to the viruses circulating, said Dr. Adrienne LeBailly, director of the county’s health department."

For those who think this is harmless most influenza vaccines in the us contain thimerosal ."Thimerosal is a very effective preservative that has been used since the 1930s to prevent contamination in some multi-dose vials of vaccines (preservatives are not required for vaccines in single dose vials). Thimerosal contains approximately 49% ethylmercury."" Yes, the majority of influenza vaccines distributed in the United States currently contain thimerosal as a preservative. However, some contain only trace amounts of thimerosal and are considered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be preservative-free. Manufacturers of preservative-free flu vaccine use thimerosal early in the manufacturing process. The thimerosal gets diluted as the vaccine goes through the steps in processing. By the end of the manufacturing process there is not enough thimerosal left in the vaccine to act as a preservative and the vaccine is labeled "preservative-free"."

There is a broad body of evidence linking mercury toxicity to Alzheimers and autisim...If in doubt google search.
Why should we be cramming these shots in our children? Oh yeah...Because the lobbyists enduce fear in the general public because some small percentage of children will die from influenza. As tragic as that is, what about the lack of safe habits because one feels invincible since they have the flu shot and the long term effects of the "other" ingrediants in these shots??? They guess the strains for pete's sake and we are now going to target more children???!!?!?!? Now why would this be coming in a year where two of three strands are ineffective??
"Flu experts and public health officials don't like it when the strains in the flu vaccine aren't an optimal match to the circulating viruses. They know elevated rates of sickness and influenza-related deaths may result.
But they dislike the headlines almost as much, fearing the black-and-white nature of the reporting will undermine fragile public confidence in the value of flu shots.
"It is often portrayed as a kind of 'on' or 'off' kind of thing. There's a match or there's a mismatch. And in that kind of situation, it's a very discomforting presentation for the public health community," says Dr. Keiji Fukuda, co-ordinator of the World Health Organization's Global Influenza Program.
"There is always concern we're really setting up a situation where people would say: 'Oh, why should I get something which is worthless?' ""
