"Children younger than 9 years old require two doses of the flu vaccine if it's the first time they've been vaccinated for influenza. That's because children don't develop an adequate antibody level the first time they get the vaccine. Antibodies help fight the virus if it enters your child's system. If a flu vaccine shortage was to occur and your child couldn't get two doses of vaccine, one dose might still offer some protection. " (from Mayo clinic)
I have a question about this...It says that children don't develop adquate antibody levels the first time...but the vaccine is DIFFERENT year, so why is it that they don't need two shots EVERY year then???
I am currently in deep research about flu vaccine, so more random questions may be coming soon
