Study of a Flu Vaccine in Children
Study of a Flu Vaccine in Children
This study tests the safety and effectiveness of a flu vaccine in school children.

 School children are usually the first members of a community to come down with the flu, and
 they often give the flu to their younger siblings, parents, and grandparents. It is hoped
 that giving school children a flu vaccine can help prevent the spread of the flu to other
 members of the community.
This is a Phase III trial (an advanced study with a large number of patients). Your child
 will receive a single dose of flu vaccine, which is given by a nasal spray.
