Michelle Malkin’s “How Effective Are Flu Shots?/a” links to “Impact of Influenza Vaccination on Seasonal Mortality in the US Elderly Population/a” from the Archives of Internal Medicine. She also links to a Los Angeles Times story, but I did not feel like registering there to read it. The upshot of all these is more confirmation of my overall impression that flu shots aren’t worth much.

“Flu Shots for Elderly Questioned in Study/a” provides some details as well. It seems flu shots are still recommended for children.
