Yet another study that lets us know that Flu shots are not all they are cracked up to be. 99% vaccinated and 25% get the flu - great stats. According to the study, the U.S.S. Arden was moored in San Diego, California, on February 10 to conduct a training exercise. After just three days, 25 of the 102 crewmen aboard the ship sought medical care after developing influenza-like illness, or ILI. The Naval Health Research Center ultimately used polymerase chain reaction testing to determine that 20 of the individuals had influenza A, and 18 of these bore the specific subtype H3N2. The remaining two specimens could not be attributed a subtype, according to the study. The outbreak was so severe that the ship was fully disinfected and the infected crew members sent home, some after being given antiviral medications and instructions on how to avoid spreading the illness. But after analyzing the situation, it was revealed that nearly every crewman had previously received a flu shot, demonstrating that this common vaccine simply doesnt work. At the time of the outbreak, 99% of the crew had received influenza vaccine, admits the study, as published by the CDC. This outbreak highlights the risk for an H3N2 influenza outbreak among vaccinated and otherwise healthy young persons, adds the report.
