How to Keep Your Family Healthy During Flu Season 18 Nov Yvonne Maldonado, MD, chief of pediatric infectious disease at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, answers questions about this year’s new quadrivalent vaccine plus predictions of the severity of this year’s flu season. When should my child receive a flu vaccine? I would recommend that parents get their children vaccinated now, even though we don’t expect the flu season to begin until January. If I wait longer in the season, will the flu vaccine be a better match for this year’s seasonal flu? There is no advantage to waiting. Waiting will not help, as the vaccine will not change for this year’s flu season. The vaccine has been made and approved for many months. No new vaccines will be made for this year. If my child has a virus (a cold with no fever) can he/she still receive a flu vaccine? A child can get a flu vaccine if they have a cold with no or mild fever. When I take my child to the pediatrician, I am given several different options of flu vaccine including a nasal spray and a flu shot. Is one more effective than the other in preventing the flu? What are the potential side-effects of the spray vs. the shot? The live nasal spray provides a better protection against flu than the shot for children compared to adults, though we don’t understand the exact mechanisms. If a child is healthy and doesn’t have an immunodeficiency or asthma or there isn’t a immune compromised child in the home, then I would recommend getting the nasal spray. Because the live vaccine is a nasal spray that can cause wheezing episodes in children with a history of asthma or wheezing, if a child has asthma, then it isn’t recommended because it can make asthma or wheezing symptoms worse. How safe is the flu vaccine? All U.S. vaccines are highly tested before they go to the FDA for approval, and then are given to the health-care providers that administer vaccines for children. We have a national and international checks-and-balances system that monitors the vaccines on a daily basis, ensuring their safety. However, many vaccines do have short-term side effects, and they are clearly posted on the CDC’s website as required by law. Tenderness, redness and swelling at the site of the injection are the most common side effects for more than 90 percent of vaccines on the market. These are minor side effects, and can occur in approximately 5 to 30 percent of all vaccinated patients. Can you explain the difference between the trivalent flu vaccine and the quadrivalent flu vaccine? How can I determine which is best for my child? The quadrivalent is best, but there is no harm in getting the trivalent. The quadrivalent vaccine protects against four strains of flu and the trivalent protects only against three. In the past, trivalent vaccines would protect against two different strains of influenza A and one strain of influenza B, but the new quadrivalent vaccines are now available and will protect against two strains of influenza A and two types of influenza B. The quadrivalent vaccine could provide as much as 15 percent more immunity, depending on what flu strains are circulating in a particular year; however, since this is the first year the quadrivalent vaccines are available, the supply may be limited for this first year, and it is perfectly fine to receive the trivalent vaccine as well. I would recommend that parents ask their health-care provider if the quadrivalent vaccine is available. Other resources include public clinics as well as county health departments. Given that this is the first year we are issuing the quadrivalent vaccine, there may not be enough for all individuals who want it. I hope that by next flu season we’ll have the quadrivalent vaccine for everyone. Can the flu vaccine give my child the flu? People sometimes think that getting the flu vaccine causes the flu, but that is really a myth. We throw the word “flu” around pretty easily. People may think they caught the flu, when in fact they have another respiratory virus. The flu vaccine has been shown to reduce the likelihood of getting the flu by 60 to 70 percent. Even if a parent or child has gotten the vaccine in previous years, be sure to get a flu shot this year to boost immunity to seasonal influenza. What are the predictions in terms of the severity of this year’s flu season? As of late 2013, it’s pretty quiet in California and in the rest of the United States — I haven’t seen major activity. Besides a flu vaccination, what other steps can I take to keep my family healthy during the flu season? Parents should monitor their children for flu-like illness: fever, cough, sore throat, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting. Anyone with flu symptoms should stay home from school and work. Kids also should practice hand-washing and other health basics to avoid spreading germs. In addition, parents need to make sure that children know how to protect others by covering their coughing or sneezing.
