Vaccination of children with inactivated influenza vaccines

Ordinace PLDD, Jindřichův Hradec

Influenza viruses are among the most frequent causative agents of infections in people across all age groups. Young children, the elderly,

and those with various chronic conditions are at the highest risk of influenza complications. Influenza vaccines are the most important part

of strategies for preventing influenza. Worldwide, authorities agree on the recommendation to vaccinate the elderly, pregnant women,

and persons of all age groups with a chronic condition. In some countries headed by the United States, mass vaccination of all children

is recommended. In Europe, this recommendation is valid only in several countries, although it can be assumed that more countries will

gradually join in as the amount of data on the benefits of vaccination in the paediatric population will increase.
