Babies and young children are more likely than adults to die from the flu. Babies under 6 months old cannot be vaccinated, so it is recommended that everyone else in the family be vaccinated in order to protect the baby.

Normal flu does kill. In the USA alone it killed over 36,000 people in 2008!

Do they give the live virus flu shot to babies?

No. For the flu vaccines, there are no live injected (flu shot/jab) vaccines. All injected flu vaccines are made with inactivated virus particles. The MedImmune flu mist is the only type that includes LAIV (live attenuated influenza virus). It is sprayed into the nose as an intranasal form of immunization. The mist is weakened (attenuated) significantly so that it will not give an otherwise healthy person the flu. It is only approved for those aged 2 - 49 who are healthy. Babies can be injected with the inactivated vaccines once they are 6 months old. Prior to that, babies are not able to be vaccinated for the flu since they have immature immune systems and must rely on mom's milk for antibodies to protect them or they may have benefited from her antibodies for the flu that were in her blood while they were developing in the womb. Babies under 6 months old are also reliant on those around them to have their flu vaccinations so they do not bring the infection home to the baby.
