    Flu shots recommended for all U.S. kids 6-18 months old
    A panel of U.S. federal vaccine advisers recommended Wednesday that
    all children aged from six months up to 18 In U.S. should be immunized
    every year against influenza. The panel agreed that new
    recommendations should go into effect as soon as possible, but no
    later than the 2009-2010 flu season.

    Currently, the recommendation is that children 6 months to 5 years
    of age get vaccinated.

    Based on current vaccination rates, the the U.S. Centers for
    Disease Control and Prevention on vaccine matters predicts about 7
    million additional children will be vaccinated because of the expanded
    recommendations.

    Follow the money and potential for huge profits. This has become
    priority 1. Just look at the lasik fiasco. Look at the overuse and
    sales of prescription DRUGS. Doctors will do harm now for
    money,absolutely. So none of this is surprising. It's a new generation.
