An advisory panel to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that every person be vaccinated for the seasonal flu yearly, except in a few cases where the vaccine is known to be unsafe.
“Now no one should say ‘Should I or shouldn’t I?’” said CDC flu specialist Anthony Fiore.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted 11-0 with one abstention to recommend yearly flu vaccination for everyone except for children under the age of six months, whose immune systems have not yet developed enough for vaccination to be safe, and people with egg allergies or other health conditions that are known to make flu vaccines hazardous. If accepted by the CDC, this recommendation will then be publicized to doctors and other health workers.
The CDC nearly always accepts the advisory committee’s recommendations.
Current CDC recommendations call for the yearly vaccination of all children over the age of six months, all adults over the age of 49, health care workers, people with chronic health problems and anyone who cares for a person in one of these groups. These recommendations cover 85 percent of the US population.
Excluded are adults between the ages of 19 and 49 who do not come into close contact with people in high-risk groups. The new recommendation, if adopted, would close that gap, bringing an end to a 10-year campaign by supporters of universal vaccination. In the past, the advisory committee has been reluctant to recommend universal vaccination for fear that it might produce vaccine shortages that place members of higher risk groups in danger. Yet even with current recommendations, only 33 percent of the public gets vaccinated every year, leaving millions of doses to be disposed of.
The H1N1 swine flu scare of the past year played a major role in the committee’s about face, both because the disease killed many people falling outside the current recommended vaccine demographic and because it raised public awareness of and demand for vaccines.

Thanks Robert. Those are very astute potential voters, their reasoning seems right on the mark. It’s the little actions that have exposed this president for the bigot he really is.
Hey, in a very recent poll of over 3,144 citizens in Topeka, Kansas, Whites, Blacks, Latinos Mexicans, all men and women democrats were 1,717 voted in survey and 1,083 Republican and 344 claimed Independant, 96% stated they will not trust Obama or re elect him, the most common reason given by all Blacks, Whites and Mexicans was>> he is too RACIST against COPS, Children of Whites in his speechs and get this, his choice for visitors in the White House proves he is still following directions he was given from Louis Farrakhan and his still Revern Wright Precher, ((they always go on TV and tell all the Blacks to go out and KILL COPS and WHITES and CHildfren of Whites and Mexicans as well, 95 % has said they witnessed this of Obama since his presidency)) he HATES Christans as he clearly shows when he makes a appearence that is in America he will have things covered up or not allowed to be seen in his back drops and in some speechs has proven his own words that he is one who is against christans ,WE will not ever believe him, and this is Blacks talking as well, when asked if anyone thought he was pushing the Illegal issue to much for illegals to be here in the districts he needs to win for re election, they all say he has used the Mexicans and tried so hard it is so clear for us to see he really does not give a darn about us in the long run all’s he wants is a chance to get our votes for his final four years so he can then make this country like that of where you WILL see Killing in the streets and make himself a king and shut down our societies with his so called false power of ***Martial Law because when he can get a group to start a violent act in society like riots etc or a fake attack on our country then he can enact the martial law with state of emergencdy and guess what, he can controll the country if our own MILITARY goes against us, this is why he is putting certain officers in different positions so he can controll them, and finally near everyone said, his true colors have now been seen by all of us in College and all over the country as young black adults and Mexicans, we are tired of his kind of POWER or his claims to be the ONES we have been waiting for** NO SIR MR Obama, you are not the one’s weve been waiting for and thanks for showing us your true self, we do not want or need you and this country that has come so far we will not agree with your way and plan to own us as your own slaves and controll us from inside our homes, this was stated by a young Lady in College at Washburn in Topeka Kansas, her name only given as “Astochia” …. WOW this was a shock in these numbers of these people and was mixed pretty even when done and in a city you would think would have different outcome.. a new one is on the way and when they post the results I will send them to you….
Interesting how they mention that babies under 6 months old have “…immune systems not yet developed enough for vaccination to be safe” yet they typically start vaccinating them at 2 months old AND most now vaccinate all newborns before they leave the hospital with Hepatitis B vaccine (unless you expressly tell them NOT to). Does this even make sense? They can take their stupid flu vaccine and stick it where the crows can’t pick it.
MEMPHIS, Oct. 19 (UPI) — Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan told an audience in Memphis he believes the H1N1 flu vaccine was developed to kill people, a witness said. http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2009/10/19/Farrakhan-suspicious-of-H1N1-vaccine/UPI-63931256011008/
I’ll tell them what they can do with their vaccine
just as I did for the last fifteen years.
No doctor I have seen personally s taking the H1N1 Vaccine. If a doctor won’t take it, I damn sure won’t.
My name is John, and I am a flu shotaholic, and because flu shotanonymos works, I haven’t had a flu shot in 2 years, 12 days, and 30 seconds.
Where’s my 2 year “CHIP?”
ALSO, LOOK FOR A MASS PANDEMIC, A SUPERFLU OF SOME KIND. WE ARE NOW BEING CONDITIONED THROUGH FEAR AND SCARE TACTICS.
THE SHOT WON’T KILL YOU, BUT THERE WILL BE A SLOW DEGRADATION OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, AND THE “NEXT” GOVERNMENT SPONSORED FLU WILL GET YOU. OR CANCER.
AMERICA HAS BECOME BOTTOM HEAVY. IT IS TIME FOR A PURGE.
LOOK FOR IT IN A THEATER NEAR YOU!!!!!!!!!!
They cite H1N1; what a joke. Talk about a media scare blitz there was for that and it turned out to kill far fewer people than the regular flu does every year. More government FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt).
I’m with you Panzzer; they can push it all they want, I’m not taking their mercury filled flu shots!
They can push for it all they want, but I still won’t take it.
