• Resumen

  • The author argues the best way to protect people from influenza is to inoculate children. Topics include public health officials' focus on immunizing the elderly, who are at greatest risk of death from influenza, studies showing that death rates in Japan between 1957 and 1967 fell as a result of mandatory immunization of children, and the need for voluntary community programs in the U.S. that would raise influenza awareness and increase the overall immunization level, lowering insurance costs.
