The new influenza vaccine is only effective for childeren.since children seldom develop serious complications from influenza, therefore, the author draws the conclusion that no significant public health benefit would result from widespread vaccination of children using the nasal spray. But in drawing the conclusion, the author omits the possibility that adults would get influenza from children, which is normally the case in real life. So, if children use the new influenza vaccine and do not develop influenza, adults would benefit from it and do not develop influenza from children. Therefore, significant public health benefit would still result from widespread vaccination of children using the nasal spry. |
