Is immunization safe for a child with a chronic medical condition?
The injectable influenza vaccine is safe for all infants and children 6 months of age and older. In fact, immunization is especially beneficial for individuals with compromised immune systems or certain underlying medical conditions (asthma, diabetes, heart disease), because influenza can worsen these conditions or cause serious complications in these children.
