The US recommends vaccination for children

The American Academy of Pediatrics emphasizes that children 6 months and older should be vaccinated against influenza.

"Parents should not postpone the vaccine for their children," said lead researcher Dr. Henry Bernstein in a statement released by the American Academy of Pediatrics. "The influenza virus is unpredictable and it is important to receive early vaccines that will help the body to be protected when the virus starts circulating , " he said.

The US Food and Drug Administration announced that it had licensed a 1 in 4 flu vaccine, and prevented another group B flu virus.

Statistics show that about 3,000-49,000 people die from influenza each year in the United States, up to 200,000 people are so ill that they are hospitalized for this virus infection. The severity of mild illness with influenza may depend on the strains of the virus circulating in the area. During the flu season last year, more than 160 American children died from this disease.

That's why all pediatricians emphasize the importance of vaccination before they start school, when many types of germs can spread in the environment.

For newborns and young children, the best way to protect children is to vaccinate them during pregnancy to prevent them from passing on to them. Pregnancy often affects the expectant mother's immune system with health complications that can be fatal for children.

Previous research has shown that inactivated influenza vaccination can be safe for many people who are allergic to eggs. However, many people believe that vaccination can cause other complications. Health authorities try to warn skeptics that this is simply a false rumor.

"We see that when injecting millions of doses of vaccine, people will get other illnesses that do not get the flu by the time they get the flu shot. They tend to believe that the flu vaccine is responsible, but often the cause is not linked. In regard to vaccines as well as flu, " Dr. Michael Brady of Nationwide Children's Hospital and chairman of the Communicable Diseases Committee told NBC News.

According to Web MD, unlike many other infections, when the flu is uncomplicated, there is no need for drug treatment. Sometimes, a doctor prescribes an antiviral medication if symptoms are reported within 48 hours of onset. These cases usually only apply when the child is at risk of serious complications, and helps shorten the duration of infection to 1-2 days.

To help children feel better during the flu, should:

- Give your child lots of fluids (fever that often goes with flu, can cause dehydration). If your baby can't drink much filtered water, you can grind ice with soft fruits such as watermelon or small so that your child likes to drink more.

- Encourage children to rest in bed or in a chair, with books, magazines, calming music or a favorite movie (with older children).

- Give your child acetaminophen or ibuprofen to relieve pain but not take aspirin unless your doctor instructs you to do so.
